Slide Ranch is Seeking Individual Volunteers

The contribution volunteers make at Slide Ranch truly helps us deliver our mission. Whether you're a student fulfilling community service hours, a corporate and community group looking for team-building, or someone who wants to put your green thumb to good use, Slide Ranch provides challenging, engaging and meaningful experiences. Slide Ranch offers rewarding volunteer opportunities for individuals from throughout the Bay Area. While working under the supervision of trained staff on our teaching farm and 134 acres of wild lands, volunteers contribute to Slide Ranch in a variety of ways, including working in our organic garden (weeding, pruning, prepping garden beds, planting and pest control,) composting, working in our barn, restoring native plants and removing invasive plants, and maintaining trails and beach access.

Slide Ranch welcomes the participation of regular volunteers age 18+ (opportunities for under 18 noted below!). Slide Ranch provides challenging, engaging and meaningful experiences. Volunteers may schedule a one-time visit or volunteer on a regular basis as part of an ongoing project. We area also initiating a Docent program! Learn more on our website. Volunteering must be scheduled in advance. Please sign up on EventBrite .

The mission of Slide Ranch is to connect children and people of all ages to the outdoors and partner with community groups, families and educators to provide transformative learning experiences on our organic farm and national park land along the California coast. Our farm-based environmental education focuses on the principles of sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship. By cooking, gardening, caring for animals and exploring country and coast, we teach students and families to see the connection between their own choices, a healthy food system and a healthy, resilient environment.

For students under the age of 18 looking to fulfill community service hours, looking for teen internships, or other volunteer experiences, contact our Program Coordinator directly at [email protected].
