Service Learning Volunteers (age 13-21)

Service Learning Volunteers will engage with day-to-day farm and craft activities, developing practical skills related to our land-to-craft curriculum (farm-to-table, grass-to-wool-fibre-craft, forest-to-wood-craft, etc.), and in some cases, learning to teach these practical skills to younger children. Service learning positions are currently available for the farm (Thursdays 9-1; 1-3, afternoons and weekends) and our Afternoon Program (Monday-Thursday 3-6).

 

To apply, send a scanned one page hand written letter explaining your current interest and skills to Elizabeth Brandley: elizabeth@wildrosefarmnh.org. Contact Elizabeth if an alternative to a hand written letter is appropriate. A regular commitment to volunteer for one or more of our sessions (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer) is encouraged and certificates of completion will be given to Service Learning Volunteers who can make this commitment.

 

Adult Volunteers

During our programming we create a feeling of community and heart-to-heart learning often experienced in the villages of our ancestors world-wide. Volunteers find that because of this special feeling created at Wild Rose Farm, they have an opportunity to fill a much needed gap in their life and in the lives of the children by becoming, in the eyes of a child, an adult with special skills worthy of imitation. As such, our volunteers become farmers, crafts people or caretakers that can share practical skills and a perspective on life that is all too often missing in a culture where children spend most of their time separated from most of the adults in the place where they live, in a culture where communities, and sometimes even extended families, are lucky if they can gather together more than a couple of times per year. 

 

Adult Volunteers are encouraged to serve the Wild Rose Farm community build and maintain facilities or support one or more of our programs when there is a committed interest to volunteer on a regular basis for a period of time. Volunteers pay for a required background check if there is contact with children during programming hours.

 

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Elizabeth and Lincoln:

Employment

Wild Rose Farm is currently looking for an Assistant Guide on Thursdays from 3-5:45/6 for our Afternoon Program and maybe additional Program Hours on Friday’s! 

Teens and adults of all ages are encouraged to apply ~ Compensation DOE 

Wild Rose Farm empowers children to find and nurture relationships with nature, and to build a sense of unity and belonging with the land, the animals, and people that walk upon it. Our intention is simple: to nourish children with the sights, sounds, tastes and feel of this earth and the joy that abounds from simply being outside. We work with a land-to-craft curriculum (farm-to-table, grass-to-wool-fiber-craft, forest-to-wood-craft, nature-art-craft), engaging children practically and artistically with their hands in a farm and forest setting.
