Volunteer Process

Volunteers are valuable partners of Bowers Farm. They gain unique experiences and provide added value to our site and visitors.

Safety is a Priority

Bowers Farm is committed to ensuring the safety of those who visit and those who volunteer by providing a screening and selection process. This ensures those who work alongside us or directly with youth, and the people we serve, are safe and have positive experiences that enrich their lives.

Age requirements:

Minimum age for volunteers is 8 years old with an adult, unless otherwise indicated. Children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times while volunteering.

Steps to become a new volunteer

  1. Apply to become a new volunteer on the link associated with the preferred opportunity.

  2. Farm staff will contact you closer to the event or as needs arise.

Bowers Farm requires annual screening with a new Background Check to ensure the safety and security of those we serve. Volunteers must re-submit forms annually, between May 15 and June 30.
