Program Description: The rooftop at Glide Foundation, a progressive church and nonprofit located in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, has been transformed into an edible, community-produced vegetable garden! The rooftop at Glide Church in San Francisco has grown into a demonstration of local, urban, sustainable, Do-It-Ourselves food production. The rooftop features soil-less gardening vegetable growers; Earthboxes, a brand of self-watering container; customized, lightweight garden beds made from shipping pallets and milk crates; a worm composting system and an educational mural which ties the whole project together.  A group of community volunteers from throughout the Bay Area and Glide youth all contributed to create this edible oasis.

Volunteer Involvement: Volunteers could participate in any and all of the following: garden maintenance, planting, harvesting, watering, composting, research, documentation, and garden garden bed construction. This can be discussed and tailored to the students interests.

Free Farm Stand

Contact Info: Tree iamtree99@gmail.com  415 824-5193

Location: Treat Commons Community Garden

Availability: See description below under "Details of volunteer opportunities"

Program Description:  The Free Farm Stand makes locally grown, fresh and nutritious organic produce accessible to all, especially those families and individuals on low-incomes and tight budgets. What we do:
•    We grow as much food as can at three garden spots in our Mission neighborhood right now and give it away at our weekly Free Farm Stand
•    We encourage neighbors to network with other neighbors in community building, centered around growing and sharing food together. The Free Farm Stand provides a drop-off place for locally grown organic produce and flowers. It is also a place where neighbors can meet other neighbors every week.
•    We educate adults and children about good nutrition and food production that is local and  sustainable. We garden with adults and children so they can learn more about where their food comes from and how to grow it.
•    We encourage neighbors to grow some of their own food if they have the space. We promote self-sufficiency by providing seedling starts and garden information and help.
•    We harvest organic fruit from backyard fruit trees and give away it away at the Free Farm Stand. Extra fruit is delivered to a local food pantry
•    We have started distributing organic local baked day old bread that would otherwise be composted
•    The Free Farm Stand gives away honey from local bee keepers and educates neighbors about bees and beekeeping

Details of volunteer opportunities;
1.    Sundays : Learn how to set up a Free Produce Stand…there is an art to it! Involves not only placing food on the table, but how to give away food with grace, how to engage neighbors in meeting each other,  setting up the seedling give away stand , offering garden advice about how to grow seedlings or answering general questions
2.    Weekly planting seedlings and maintaining them
3.    Plant , grow, and harvest a crop for the Free Farm Stand
4.    Glean fruit for the Free Farm Stand...depending on the season
5.    Help with new projects, including our out or neighborhood outreach program, helping neighbors with their backyard efforts to grow food.

Location: focused in the Mission and surrounding districts
Availability: Sporadic in the winter, more consistent in the summer, please contact for details

Program Description:
Produce to the People (PttP) is a non-profit organization in San Francisco, dedicated to aiding the food security and health of our community through garden and food education, the creation of green jobs for youth, and the growth, harvest, and dispersal of organic backyard and community grown produce. We support the right of everyone in our community to have access to fresh, nourishing food and believe that empowering youth and adults to take part in their local food system can create change that will systemically improve the way we eat, and in turn our health and well being as a whole.
We could use sporadic help with backyard harvests, food distribution and propagating food plants.  We are in the process of securing land for a youth/community garden, and in the event that all goes through would love help sheet mulching, cover cropping, and beginning to build out the garden in preparation for our summer youth program.  We work closely with the Free Farm Stand and it would be great if you had an interest in overlapping your volunteer time on both projects.

Willie Brown Junior Academy Garden is located in Bayview/ Hunter's Point. The five-year-old garden remains the only green space at the almost 170 student 4th- 8th grade school, and we have recently received approval to expand the program to an adjacent hillside, more than an acre in size, fondly referred to as Freedom Way. By teaching classes, conducting field trips, and supervising the garden club, the garden educator works with the students to help them achieve a different sort of education, one that instills critical thinking and problem solving skills in an adverse environment. These tools are especially practical in times of economic and environmental turmoil.  WBJAG has also begun a  new class that has mentors from the adjacent school working with one elemenatry school class a week.

Project Ole  
Location: San Francisco Community School, 125 Excelsior St.                           
Contact: Brooke Hieserich, School Garden Teacher. bythebrook@hotmail.com.                                                            
Volunteer Times: see below

Description: Project OLE! (Outdoor Learning Environment) is the school site-specific nonprofit organization running environmental education programs at San Francisco Community School, a small, public school for students grades K-8 in the Excelsior District. Organized in 1999 by parents, students, and teachers, Project OLE transformed an asphalt parking lot into a teaching garden. San Francisco Community School curriculum is project-based learning and community oriented. Project OLE is interested in 1.) gathering more greater-community support for the garden  2.) building on the garden program that's already about growing and preparing fresh food and  3.) repairing and installing rain-water catchment and cob oven features. The garden currently features a "willow wave,"  6 "kitchen-garden" beds arranged around an herb spiral, a 3-bin compost system, 3 worm bins, and a perimeter of perennial greenery.

Current programs include:
School-Day K-5 Garden Instruction: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30am-3:30pm. K-5th grade students have class time to explore, experiment, grow, eat and learn in the garden once every 2 weeks. Volunteer co-teachers would be most welcome!

Weekend Garden Volunteer Days: First Saturdays of every month. The community comes together to tackle bigger projects in the garden. Our next Saturday workday is Nov 7th, calling all volunteer co-composters to help jump-start our 3-bin system!

After-School Cooking and Gardening: Monday-Friday 3:30-6pm. I lead an after-school program for about 20 middle school students that integrates playing outside, homework support, cooking, gardening, and hopefully community service and field trips. I currently have one awesome volunteer from SF State, but the more the merrier! I'd like to tackle the cob oven project with this group and would love to have the support of someone interested in learning more about natural building.

 Environmental Education at the Garden for the Environment
Contact:  Nicole, Nicole@gardenfortheenvironment.org, (760)450-6361
Location: 7th Avenue @ Lawton (Inner Sunset)
Volunteer Times: Some Tuesdays & Thursdays, 9:45-1pm

Description: In partnership with the Department of the Enviroment and SF Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), GFE offers a field trip program to San Francisco schools.  During a classroom visit, we look at the value of diverting food waste from the landfill, discuss soil as a delicate natural resource and introduce the concept of  resource conservation and resource locality. The students then join us on a field trip to the Garden for the Environment where the concepts are brought to life.  They taste, touch and smell garden plants and observe insects.  Time is spent getting dirty, building compost and discovering critters that live in the piles.  Songs, skits and stories are explored.  We picnic at the GFE and discuss "zero-waste" lunches.  As a volunteer you would be asked to host one of the three rotating stations which could include garden work projects, native plant exploration, waste diversion through composting, planting and maintaining our nursery.  Or, we can combine your specific garden interests with the needs of our students to create a dynamic new station! Each station will last about 30 minutes and host 7-10 students and a parent or chaperone. If you have an interest in environmental education with youth, 3rd to 5th grade, please join me 9:45-1pm on Thursdays throughout the year.

Contact: Blair Randall or Suzi Palladino, 731-5627
Location: 7th Avenue @ Lawton (Inner Sunset)
Volunteer Times: Wednesdays, 10-2pm, Saturdays, 10-4pm

Description: The GFE is a nationally acclaimed demonstration and education garden.  Nearly every weekend of the year we hold workshops for San Francisco residents teaching non-toxic and ecological gardening principles, resource efficient landscaping techniques and urban compost systems.  GCETP participants may choose a specific area of the garden to develop a project that serves as a model for educating the public about ecological gardening or resource efficient landscaping techniques or principles.  Students are encouraged to take on projects that are achievable, satisfy their own interests and focus on an area of need in the garden.
Ideas to get you going: Specific educational or interpretive signage projects.  Developing a crop plan for a single garden bed to maximize food, flower or herb production in an urban setting.  Winter/Spring care for perennial plants with Hilary Gordon at the GFE. Spring fruit tree care with Blair at the GFE.  Be creative, just be sure that the project is possible and well-defined (so that you know when you are done).  We want projects at the GFE to be accomplished with a good deal of self-direction with, of course, periodic check-in's and guidance from Suzi and Blair.

Sunnyside Elementary School   
Contact Info: Cathy Meyer
Location: 250 Foerster Street, San Francisco, CA   
Availability:Mornings or Afternoons, days are flexible.
Program Description: (here, you can include the details of a specific project you need assistance with or give a brief description of your program and how you envision the student’s role as a volunteer with your organization)

Last year was our first Garden Committee meeting, and now the school has established a garden program that has allowed every student to plant seeds in their classroom's garden container.

The goal of this year's program is to provide the students with a more complete understanding of the growing cycle and ecology.  Sunnyside Elementary is one of ten schools selected to participate in the SFUSD "Green Schools" pilot program.  Your students could provide our school much needed assistance by coordinating/establishing our composting and vermiculture program.  On October 24th, a three bin compost box will be completed; by November 7th, each classroom will receive a compost bin and a worm bin. 

Composting plan:  Classrooms will save the appropriate snack scraps and put them in the compost bin twice a week.  The middle bin will be filled with donated partially decomposed compost.  The third bin will be filled with compost that is almost completely broken down.  Worms will also be added to the compost in the 3rd bin.  Students will use the compost to amend container garden soil.  The coordinator will take the students to deposit their compost, and help the students amend soil in the beds using the compost as needed.

Vermiculture/Worm Bins:  Each classroom will be provided with a bin complete with earthworms and some partially broken down compost.  Teachers will be provided a list of earthworm friendly snack scraps.  As the earthworms increase in numbers, the students will move some of the worms to the container gardens.  Worm tea will be available for sale during the Sunnyside SpringFest event at the end of the school year.  The coordinator would present the classrooms with instruction on how to properly care for their new worm bins. 

Assist Cathy Meyer in creating a teacher survey:  Another goal for the year is to have the garden activities incorporated with the grade level curriculum.  The first step in this process is surveying the teachers, then developing an outline to follow.

We have also applied for a grant to install a rainwater cistern and look forward to starting a stormwater management program in support of the school garden. 

Please contact me, Cathy Meyer at (415) 794-2203 or mulkeymeyer@att.net, the students would gladly welcome more garden/ecology related activities.Sunnyside Elementary School

Volunteer Times: see below

Description:  This project is a rare opportunity to move beyond backyard gardens and community garden plots and farm on a near-commercial scale on 4.5 acres in San Francisco!
Since being converted from an illegal dump to San Francisco's largest community farm, the Alemany Farm (formerly St. Mary's Urban Youth Farm) has been a source of food, community and skills-sharing.  Our weekly weekend workdays are attended by volunteers from around the city interested in learning more about the process of growing their own food.  We have a 4.5 acre site in southern Bernal Heights that always has potential for improvement.  Current project include: preparing the ground for winter cover cropping, restoring the greenhouse, re-vitalizing our hillside orchard, and fundraising to support our job training program for youth of the nearby low income housing community.
Within these projects, there is room to do and learn:
pruning, hoeing, grant-writing, phone-calling, plant propagation, volunteer outreach, workday coordination, irrigation installation, planting, harvesting, seed-saving, composting, native habitat restoration, community organizing and outreach, flier/propaganda creation, website design/maintenance, relaxing, playing with kids (we really need nice, but disciplinarian role-models for the kids that come to the farm!), in-kind donation getting, weeding weeding weeding, and more!

Program Description:
The Urban Share Community Garden Project is looking for skilled gardeners to consult on design, and/or to manage new sites.  This project is a cooperation between WELCOME-a communal response to poverty, and the Episcopal Diocese of California.  According to our philosophy of urban sharing, we are working to create new gardens in faith communities, associated insitutions and backyards.  Each site will have a relationship with either a food pantry, community dinner, or free farm-stand.  We have sites at various locations around the city and the bay area.   Current projects which are being being developed include:  raised beds at the Sanctuary Shelter (8th and Howard), Bayview Backyard Gardens (based out of Bayview Mission Pantry), St. Paulus Urban Farm (Gough and Eddy).  For more see:  http://urbanshare.blogspot.com/
(While this project is focusing on building gardens at institutions associated with faith-communities, we are completely open to everyone of ANY religious tradition, or those who are not practitioners of any religious faith, as well as those who loath religion all together!  We're all in this together.  We are looking to build partnerships with any individual or organization that shares our values of environmental justice.)
