Our volunteers are vital to our mission of growing fresh food and building a community dedicated to achieving food equity. Urban Roots is always accepting volunteers to help grow fresh produce for our food access partners and support our farm operations at our two farms in Austin, TX.
Public Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer opportunities take place on Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 to 11:30 a.m. throughout the spring. If you are interested in sustainable agriculture, enjoy the outdoors, sign up at the link below.
Community Ambassadors
We are currently recruiting urban growers and horticulture hobbyists to join our Community Ambassador team. This crew will function as a dedicated team that assists with farm operations and leads volunteer groups. Those that are interested in sustainable agriculture, enjoy the outdoors, and want to support our mission to grow fresh food and build a community dedicated to achieving food equity, who are ready to get outdoors and are passionate about our mission are invited to apply. No prior experience is required; all skills will be taught on the farms. Community Ambassadors must be able to commit to attend in person on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon March 14 through June 6, 2023. An optional lunch-and-learn opportunity will be available once monthly as well. To apply, reach out to our volunteer manager at the email below.
