Get Involved

Volunteer

LEAP primarily uses volunteers in two ways: in our community gardens and in our Processing Kitchen. If you enjoy being outside and want to beautify our community, join LEAP's Community Gardens Manager during the scheduled volunteer days she leads. If you have a group that wants to volunteer, email: gardens@leapforlocalfood.org. Volunteering in the Processing Kitchen at The LEAP Hub happens on weekdays, during business hours. Email: kitchen@leapforlocalfood.org to inquire about a large group volunteering. All potential volunteers should click the button to register. LEAP staff will follow up with details.

VOLUNTEER

Become an Intern

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!) Find more information here. To apply, send a cover letter and resume the email address below or drop them off at:
The LEAP Hub, 1027 Patterson Ave. SW, Roanoke, VA 24016.
