Whether you’re looking for a summer job, a volunteering opportunity for yourself or your team, summer or school-year learning, or to buy the best hyper-local veggies around, there are so many ways to get involved in Fresh Roots! Most of our opportunities to get involved are during the farming season, April through October.
Volunteer
We’re looking for amazing volunteers to support our farms and programs! Farm Volunteering happens April through October. Field Trip volunteer training happens in April for volunteering in April through June and October.
Team Building
Our schoolyard farms are bustling with activity and we’d love to welcome your organization for a Team Build. You’ll deepen connections with your team while supporting our farms. Team Builds are available April through October.
Work at Fresh Roots
Each year, we hire around 20 young people to help grow our farms and facilitate our learning programs. Applications are available starting in late December for positions starting between March and June.
Veggie Boxes & Flower CSA
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) allows community members to purchase a weekly share of the farm! Veggie and Flower CSA shares are available in Vancouver. Sales start in January with weekly pick up in the summer.
Camp Fresh Roots
Camp Fresh Roots is the best place for kids 4-12 to grow in the summer! Each day is full of play, learning, good food, great friends, and caring staff to make sure your camper has the best camp experience ever. Camps take place in July and August; registration opens on Family Day weekend!
SOYL Summer Youth Program
SOYL youth develop skills in growing, cooking, and selling food, as well as a greater connection to themselves, their community, and the regional food system. SOYL runs in July and early August, with applications in March.
School Year Learning on the Farms
Field Trips and Field Classes bring the BC curriculum to life on our farms! Field Trips and Field Classes happen late September through October (booking starting in late August) and April through June (booking starting in January).
