Volunteer With Us
Volunteer opportunities at Shepherd’s Corner are as abundant as the fruits of the earth. We invite individuals and groups to share in our ministry of caring for the land. All sorts of skills are needed or come to learn some new ones. One-time visits, work on special projects, or regularly scheduled participation are welcome. We utilize volunteers for gardening, forest restoration, animal care, general maintenance, crafting our items for sale, English tutoring, and more. Tuesdays are a standing volunteer workday where we focus on land management and other tasks where we need several pairs of hands to complete. You are welcome to complete and submit a volunteer application form. Please note that you may be asked to complete to a background check depending on the type of volunteer role you are seeking.
