It’s a website where we post work days and upcoming events and then those looking to do community service can find available opportunities.Communicate with the Operations Team to identify large-scale Orchard site projects, and connect interested service groups to help complete those endeavors. This normally takes place via email. When requests come in, you should email @Operations with the size of the group and the day/time they want to come out. We try and get the group to come on a regular scheduled work day, but if that doesn’t work, we just need to be sure there is a leader that can be present. It is best to ask for a confirmation of how many volunteers will be present at least 2 weeks in advance of the day they are coming out. Engage the Bloomington and Indiana University communities to raise awareness of the Orchard and share how individuals can get involved in our sustainable initiatives.

Steward volunteers Volunteer stewardship is an important aspect of every community-driven non-profit.
