We could not do what we do without the amazing force of volunteers we have. If you have some free time that you can dedicate to others, we have multiple volunteer opportunities.
Would you like to experience our programs first hand? We're always looking for volunteers to help facilitate the interaction between our animals and clients during the programs. Whether you'd like to go with us onsite to a client location, or meet us at our barn for a program, once signed up to be a volunteer, you can use our shiftboard to sign up to volunteer at any program that interests you and fits into your schedule. The majority of our programs take place Monday - Friday during the day since several of our programs are for children and are scheduled during school hours. You must be 18 years or older to be a Healing Programs Volunteer. For more information call 650-703-5199 or email cynthia@jasperridgefarm.org.
Our family of animals need daily care, feeding, cleaning, and love! If you have a couple hours available in the morning on a specific day of the week, we need people who can commit to a regular schedule of helping to take care of our animals. We also need people late afternoon to do a few barn chores and help with evening feeding. For more information call 650-703-5199 or email cynthia@jasperridgefarm.org.
Since 2009, our youth volunteers have played a significant role at Jasper Ridge Farm — helping us with animal care, feeding, grooming, exercising and socializing, as well as with facility maintenance and events.
We believe the significance of engaging youth in service to others cannot be overstated. It is critical for nurturing a generation that values compassion, social responsibility and active citizenship.
Working with animals, youth gain firsthand exposure to the needs of others. This experience cultivates empathy, enabling them to see beyond their own circumstances. By fostering empathy and compassion from a young age, we can nurture a generation that actively seeks to make a difference.
This program provides youth with invaluable opportunities to learn and practice job skills, and to develop leadership skills. By taking on roles and responsibilities, youth learn how to set goals, organize events, collaborate with others as well as work independently, and manage resources effectively. Working in an experiential learning environment, youth develop crucial skills in communication, problem-solving and critical thinking — skills which will better equip them to become future leaders.
Our junior team of volunteers is for ages 8 to 12 and our teen volunteers are 13-17. For more information call 650-703-5199 or email rachel@jasperridgefarm.org.
Jasper Ridge Farm is a great place for a team building activity and a day of giving back. We always have special projects needing to be done around the farm, and the best part is that while you're giving back to your community, you also get to spend time with our awesome farm animals! The day will make for some great team photos. For more information call 650-703-5199 or email nicole@jasperridgefarm.org.
