Earth Day Volunteer Work Party

Celebrate Earth Day by volunteering with us on the 21 Acres farm!

Each year, Earth Day volunteers at 21 Acres help build healthy soil, support local food systems, and take vital action for the climate.

Join your neighbors in Washington and around the world in giving back to the Earth while connecting with people who share your passion. Work alongside our knowledgeable staff on a variety of seasonal restoration and farm projects. Learn how regenerative farming and strong local food systems are climate solutions. Stick around after the volunteer event for a farm tour and shop at our local foods Farm Market.

No prior farm experience required. All tools provided.

Accessibility

We are committed to making our volunteer events as accessible as possible. Please reach out to our team with any questions, concerns, or needs prior to the event. If you are not attending this event due to accessibility concerns, please let us know. We welcome your feedback.

The 21 Acres farm is not ADA accessible. The roads are unpaved, and the ground can be uneven. Our LEED-certified education center is ADA accessible. There is an elevator in the building that goes to the second-floor restrooms. While our restrooms are not gender-neutral, we invite all guests to use the restroom that aligns with their identity.

Cancellation

Safety is our first priority. If existing or anticipated conditions pose a moderate to high risk to volunteers and staff, we will make the decision to cancel volunteer activities.

In the event of cancellation, registered volunteers will be informed of cancellations by the Volunteer Coordinator as soon as possible. Please make sure that the email and phone number you provide during registration are accurate.
