Volunteering with LEAP is a fun and rewarding way to engage with the community. Volunteers help us strengthen community well-being, support our local economy, have a positive impact on the environment, and help everyone access fresh, nutritious food.

Volunteer opportunities are posted monthly in our community gardens, processing kitchen, farmers markets, mobile market, and food hub. Use the button below to explore and sign up for volunteer opportunities. Want to learn more?  Create an account to get on our mailing list.

LEAP has shifted its internship program to be year round and flexible. Depending on the interests of interns and the needs of our nonprofit during any given season, we will craft a schedule that works for all. These are unpaid internships. Interns need to be available for 6-12 hours per week and preferably for at least three months. (Don’t have that much time to commit? Sign up as a volunteer!)
