GET INVOLVED
Volunteering
The farm has several volunteer opportunities such as daily chores, programs, greenhouse, grounds and special projects.
Benefits of Volunteering
The benefits of volunteering vary depending on the amount of time volunteered. Volunteers working less than 24 hours receive free entry into the park on the day(s) they are working. Volunteers working 24 hours or more receive an Annual Vehicle Entry Permit for the year that work is done and an annual appreciation lunch. Volunteers working 64 hours a year or more receive a Certificate of Appreciation and a Metroparks Annual Vehicle Entry Permit for the following year and a Metroparks volunteer polo shirt. Volunteers working 200 hours a year or more are eligible to attend the HCMA Recognition Dinner with a spouse or guest under the same guidelines as an employee. One volunteer (with a guest) will be selected from each park/parks unit to receive recognition as “Volunteer of the Year” and to attend the Recognition Dinner for free. They also receive a Metroparks volunteer jacket.
