Volunteering

Current Volunteer Opportunities
Check out our current volunteer opportunities on the Go Volunteer website.

On-Site
As part of the Market team, volunteers provide customer service to shoppers, participants, vendors and the local community. Volunteers also promote and implement the fundraising programs that enable this not-for-profit community Market to continue it's activities self-sufficiently. Volunteers are crucial to the running of the Markets every week. Volunteers staff the information table, join in during special events and greet and help customers.

Volunteer shifts are 2 - 2 1/2 hours long. Come once a month or once a season - as often as you can.

Community Outreach and Promotions
Each year we attend several community events with a table full of information about the markets to share with an interested public. We need help staffing these events throughout the year. If you are interested in community outreach and like talking to people, please get in touch with us.

Committees
Vancouver Farmers Markets are always looking for interested individuals who want to contribute to our success and growth. If you would like to be a part of working behind the scenes with committees such as our Membership Committee please contact us at volunteer at eatlocal.org

Volunteers work in a team with 2-4 others per shift. Contact us at volunteer at eatlocal.org

Farm Helpers
If you are interested in helping out farmers directly - either at their stall at the market or on their farms, let us know and we can make the connection. Consider subscribing to our newsletter too where we often post these kinds of opportunities.
