Volunteer Opportunities

There are many opportunities to volunteer with The Harvest Club.

We want to make it fun and easy for everyone to get involved.  To join our team, just complete a grower or volunteer registration form and we’ll be in touch about future harvesting events.

If you are interested in leading harvests in your own community, select the Harvest Captain link below and a senior harvester will contact you.

 

After registering, we will notify you about upcoming Harvest Events, or your can always check our Harvest Events page for the latest volunteer opportunities.

Harvesting – How It Works

Harvest Events are led by an experienced Harvest Captain and generally take place between 10am-12pm on weekends, however weekday harvests are available.

Registered volunteers will receive an email about upcoming harvests.  To signup for a harvest, just respond to the event notification or email us at volunteer@theharvestclub.org.  Event details will be emailed prior to the harvest.

Harvesters are advised to wear:

• long sleeves
• hat and sunglasses (or protective eyewear)
• sunscreen and bee protection (if necessary)
• closed-toed shoes are a must!

If you are a new volunteer, please sign our Liability Waiver and Photo Release form. Bring it to your first Harvest Event and turn it into the Harvest Captain.

Volunteer Positions with The Harvest Club

Harvest Captains are the backbone of The Harvest Club.  They are responsible for scheduling, managing and overseeing safety during the harvest event.

Harvesters donate 2-3 hours per harvest to pick and sort fruit/vegetables.

Tree Scouts visit the grower’s property prior to a harvesting event to determine the health of the tree, taste the fruit, and determine when the Grower is available for a harvest event.

Ambassadors are our connection to new growers and volunteers in the community.  Activities include passing out flyers during or after a harvest and canvassing local neighborhoods with visible fruit trees.

Drivers deliver harvested produce to distribution sites near the harvest location.

Growers provide us with a sustainable source of healthy, fresh food that we can harvest and donate to the community.

**We are also seeking assistance with gathering web content.  Please contact us if you are interested in blogging, sourcing content or identifying related community events.
