Opportunities with Nuestras Raíces

We like to work with each person as an individual to figure out how we can best work together to learn and improve our community. We try and match up each volunteer with a project that needs doing, depending on the volunteer's skills, talents, experiences and goals. Much depends on the amount of time that the volunteer has to contribute.

Examples of volunteer projects/internships include:

  1. Help with coordination of a community-led coalition
  2. Help with Nuestras Raíces business ventures—greenhouse, bakery, community kitchen – do business planning for new products
  3. Organize a fundraising event
  4. Do photo or video documentation of projects or events
  5. Edit an edition of our bilingual newsletter or work on this website
  6. Organize workshops on health topics or organic gardening
  7. Assist with youth leadership program (usually not a first project with Nuestras Raíces, we have to get to know you first)
  8. Do carpentry/beautification projects in the gardens
  9. Help put up fencing, plant fruit trees, clear brush, build an animal structure or some other project on the Tierra de Oportunidades Farm
  10. Conduct environmental research
