Volunteer with Grow Jackson
Volunteering with Grow Jackson is a hands-on way to make a real difference in your community. Whether you’re planting seeds, harvesting vegetables, or helping at a community dinner, your time supports fresh food access, youth education, and healthier neighborhoods across Jackson. Individuals and groups of all kinds are welcome—no experience needed. When you volunteer with Grow Jackson, you’re not just helping a nonprofit—you’re helping grow a stronger, more connected Jackson for everyone.
Individual Volunteers
Looking to give back, get your hands in the soil, or learn more about food and gardening? Grow Jackson offers meaningful volunteer opportunities for individuals of all skill levels. You can help maintain gardens, assist with grocery giveaways, support educational programs, or lend a hand at one of our seasonal events. Volunteering with us is a great way to connect with your community, meet new people, and be part of something that truly matters. Whether you can join us once, commit to a few hours a month or support Grow Jackson more regularly, every bit of your time helps grow fresh food and fresh opportunities in Jackson. We’d love to have you on the team!
Corporate, School, and Group Volunteers
Grow Jackson welcomes corporate teams, school groups, service clubs, and community organizations to join us in our mission to grow healthy food and strong neighborhoods. Volunteering as a group is a great way to build teamwork, give back locally, and make a visible impact in just one day. We host community volunteer events throughout the growing season that your team can join—or we’re happy to coordinate a custom volunteer opportunity just for your group. Whether it’s helping in the gardens, supporting a community dinner, or packing produce for giveaways, your team’s effort makes a big difference. Reach out to us to schedule a personalized volunteer day that aligns with your goals and helps nourish Jackson.
