New Volunteer Registration Form

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Valley Verde! 
Please complete this form to so we can get to know you better and curate the best volunteering experience for you!

 
All new volunteers must complete this form before you begin volunteering. If you are applying as part of a group larger than 5 people, a School, or a Company, please email us first at volunteer@valleyverde.org and confirm with us before RSVPing through the Event Calendar.

We hope you enjoy this experience learning more about food around the world and creating spaces where people have access to fresh, affordable, organic, and culturally relevant food. 

Our site is outdoors, so please wear closed-toed shoes and bring a hat, sunscreen, and water for yourself as needed. For more information on what to expect during your volunteering, please visit our FAQ Sheet.
 

**Allergen Alert** 
We have a beehive on site, so please take caution and bring any relevant medications.

We want to make our volunteer opportunities as accessible as possible. The nursery is somewhat rough terrain, so if volunteering on site is not possible for you, you can volunteer remotely. Please let Valley Verde staff know of your access needs and we will do our best to meet them.
