A Myriad of Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are the vitality and future of the Somerville Community Growing Center. The Friends of the Community Growing Center thank you for considering a contribution of your time and talents!
The Growing Center is not a community garden in the traditional sense. We follow a different model. There are no plots assigned to individuals for their own use; we have gardening space, which volunteers tend. The majority of the produce is donated to local food pantries to help give everyone in our community a chance to eat fresh and local.
Options for Getting Involved:
1. Take a Volunteer Orientation.
Volunteer Orientations begin at the end of March and are held the second Saturday and fourth Monday of each month into late fall at the Growing Center, 22 Vinal Ave, Somerville. You do not need to sign up in advance - feel free to just show up! Or you can scroll to the form at the bottom of this page to sign up to be contacted by our Operations Manager! See this year's schedule.
