Grow veggies with children @ UBC Farm! Be a volunteer Farm Friend!
ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT LAND, FOOD, AND COMMUNITY?
Do you want to share your passion with children?
The Intergenerational Landed Learning Project invites adults who care about land, food, and community to volunteer as “Farm Friends” and garden with school children at the UBC Farm. Farm Friend volunteers work in intergenerational teams of one elder, one younger, and 3-5 elementary students to sow, grow, harvest prepare, and eat food crops at the UBC Farm.
Farm Friends commit 12 mornings (Wednesday or Thursday, approximately every other week) from late September 2013-June 2014 to work and learn with their Farm Friend teams. Seniors particularly sought! On-call volunteers are also sought to fill in as needed.
“Farm Friends” may be asked to participate in an educational research study that is a part of this project.
