Volunteer Opportunities

The Educational Farm at Joppa Hill thrives thanks to our amazing team of over 100 volunteers! From daily upkeep around the property, in the gardens and Farm Stand to animal care and seasonal events, our volunteers bring the farm to life and make it a welcoming place for all.

Interested in joining us? We welcome volunteers of all ages! Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and for those with little ones under 3, we recommend an additional adult to ensure a safe experience for both children and animals.
