VOLUNTEER WITH SLOW FOOD DENVER!
Slow Food Denver is a volunteer-driven organization who relies on the community for continued success. Volunteer opportunities most frequently happen in conjunction with our events and community garden days, and can range from guest check-in, digging in the dirt, and more!
​
Additionally, we are always open to new projects and ways to advance our mission, and many of these projects come from our volunteer team. If you have an idea that will help advance our mission of Good, Clean, and Fair Food for All, send us your idea along with ways that you’d like to be involved.
​
If you would like to join our volunteer team, please sign up for one of our opportunities, or contact us with questions!

​Garden dates for 2025 will come in the spring!​​
WHERE DO WE BRING VOLUNTEERS?
Gardening at Civic Center Park – Join Slow Food Denver and Grow Local Colorado for a morning of tending to the gardens. We will be weeding, planting, harvesting, and enjoying the Denver morning sun. All of the produce harvested from these gardens is donated to local food banks and shelters in the Denver area such as Metro Caring, SAME Cafe, and The Gathering Place. With your help we can donate fresh, organic produce to those in need!

Where: Civic Center Park, 101 14th Ave, Denver, CO 80204
DPS Farm – Denver Public Schools offers two growing spaces, one at Schmitt Elementary and one at Bradley International School. The school system has unique plans for each space, but both will become valuable growing spaces for the community as they provide experiential learning opportunities and sustenance to be used in the schools. We are excited to expand our longstanding and positive relationship with these schools as our educational programs continue to expand beyond the classroom.

We are thrilled to once again bring volunteers to this growing space with outstanding values and such a positive community impact. Their urban farm is inspired by Jewish values and works to build community while expanding food access to those that need it.
