Stay Rooted
Beyond the Farm is all about growth. Community growth and environmental growth both happen beyond the farm. We recommend beach/park clean-ups, gardening programs, and more!

Technology makes it easy to lend a helping hand even from a distance. Your virtual volunteering might just be what your community needs. Alumni have previously hosted virtual mentoring opportunities.
