Grant Park Volunteer Hours

Experience first-hand the beauty, creativity, and abundance at our Grant Park "Art on the Farm"! Please stop by to get your hands in the soil for a few hours and learn hands-on about the fundamentals of urban farming. There are plenty of tasks suited to different skill levels and physical abilities. Not only will you be actively contributing to our farm, but you’ll be making a meaningful impact on our local community!

***ARRIVAL & TOUR***

All volunteers must sign our Liability, Theft, and Photo release waiver at least once per season: LINK

Please plan to arrive ten minutes early to check-in at the Welcome Table visible from the entrance before heading onto the farm to join the tour. A UGC representative will greet you at the Welcome Table.

**VOLUNTEERING***

Learn hands-on about planting seeds, weeding, and transplanting seedlings to nurturing plants. We recommend that you wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and that cover the majority of your skin (ex: pants and long-sleeved shirts) and please wear closed-toe shoes (absolutely no sandals or flip flops). You will not be able to participate in volunteering if you are wearing open-toed shoes.

***GROUPS***

Groups over 10 must organize a group volunteer session with us separately; if your organization is a local nonprofit please inquire here, and for corporations / offices, inquire here.
