Many of our volunteers choose to harvest at various sites. We do offer various other opportunities, such as helping during events, such as the annual seed share. During harvests our Lead Harvester will meet you at a predetermined location to caravan to the harvesting site. Your Lead will check you in, give an overview of what we are doing and how to do so safely. No matter the event, volunteers should be comfortable moving around. in comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty, comfortable shoes and ALWAY plenty of water.

You are making a difference! When we havew a volunteer opportunity, we will email our volunteer list anywhere from a week to 48 hours prior to the event along with a link to sign up for the opportunity. Depending on the activity, there will be a maximum number of volunteers we can accept. 24-48 hours before the event, you will recieve an email with the time, location, and any other needed details. If you can no longer make the event, please let us know ASAP so we can find another volunteer to shuck your spot.

Children have ALWAYS been a part of FIFABQ! We welcome children to our events, unless otherwise stated due to safety concerns. Harvests are an excellent time to connect, teach, and enjoy others company. We will have a liability waiver for both the adult and for any attending children. Volunteers under 17 must be accompanied by an adult who registers foir the event and stays for it's entirety.

We LOVE animals. REALLY love them. Please leave your pets at home while you volunteer with us to ensure everyones safety and comfort.

Absolutely! Please bring any documentation with you with you and our event lead can fill this out for you. If there is not a hard copy, please email volunteer@fifabq.org to receive documented hours. Please allow 7 days for a confirmation email.

Due to the nature of harvests, it can be challenging to schedule larger groups. If you are interested in volunteering with a large group (more than 5), please send us an email to volunteer@fifabq.org Please include the following information: Group Name, Number of People, Days/Times that you are available If we can accommodate you, we’ll send you a private link to sign up. Volunteers (including children!) are required to register separately online before the event so that each volunteer completes our mandatory release form and we have an accurate count of participants. You must use a different email address for each individual volunteer (minors are an exception to the email rule).

We always recommend that you dress for comfort, bring plenty to drink, sunscreen, and hats. Feel free to bring gloves or anything else you need to be outside. If you would like to take some of the bounty home with you, please bring your own vessel as we do not have extra bags.

We are SO appreciative of the hard work and dedication to our commUnity. We do allow our harvest volunteers to take some produce home with them as a thank you. Please bring your own bag to the event.

Things happen, we get it! Please email us or send us a text asap so we can plan accordingly. Stay home, rest, and we hope to see you next time!

We are committed to safety. We ask that you always have a mask with you. Masks are REQUIRED during all indoor events. During outdoor events, a mask requirement is at the descretion of the team leader. FIFABQ will follow all state and federal guidelines when it comes to public safety and mask requirements. If you are not comfortable with a mask requirement, we welcome your volunteering efforts behind the scenes.
