Volunteering
Find a fun and meaningful way to spend your time, use your skills, and help make our community a better place! With hundreds of programs each year, the Boulder JCC welcomes enthusiastic volunteers to help us grow and serve our community - whether you want to give back to the community, meet new friends, earn community service hours, or enhance your resume. There are numerous opportunities available, both for special events, as well as consistent organizational help, where we work with our volunteers to match them with positions that best fit their skills, interests, and schedules. If you are interested in volunteering, reach out to volunteers@boulderjcc.org for more information.
Volunteering Positions Available at the Boulder JCC
Farm Volunteers - Growing Season
We’re looking for volunteers to help out at the Milk and Honey Farm! You'll have the opportunity to dig, weed, plant, and harvest our tzedakah (donation) garden, educational garden beds, and geodesic dome greenhouse. The produce you help grow is donated or used in educational programs and each year we are thrilled to be able to donate over 4,000 pounds of produce to Boulder county community members experiencing food insecurity - and you help make this happen! You can join us as often as your schedule allows and you just need to register once. 18+ (teens with adult or supervisor).
This program is for individuals who are curious about volunteering on the farm on some sort of regular basis. If you have a group who wants a one-off volunteer program, please check out our service learning opportunities.
What expectations are held in place for volunteers?
We ask volunteers to attend Milk and Honey Farm with a desire to dig into a new experience, an openness to learning, and a willingness to work together with other volunteers and our farmers in support of a safe and respectful environment for everyone - including the animals, plants and land we steward. We expect volunteers to come to the farm dressed in a way that is appropriate to the weather and supportive of getting dirty and doing physical work on a farm in a range of temperatures. We also ask that volunteers be aware of their own needs and take breaks for food and water as needed.
Please reach out to Farm Program Specialist, Talia Brahms with any questions about the Milk and Honey Farm and volunteering.
Mondays and Thursdays, April 28 - October 30 (skipping May 26, September 1, 22 and October 2) | 8 am - 11 am | FREE
Library Story Time Reader
Our beautiful library has a wonderful children's section and this program is a great opportunity to bring young kids and their caregivers into the space to see all that we have to offer. Reading out loud to children encourages vocabulary growth and builds a love of books and reading. Storytime in the Library is offered on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-9:45 am. We have a lots of books for you to consider or you can bring your own to share with littles and their caregivers. This time is an opportunity for you to be creative. You can share songs, puppets and other activities during this time to engage and stimulate young minds. This opportunity will be good for a dynamic, dramatic and engaging story readers who love interacting with kids and their caregivers. If you are interested in volunteering, reach out to volunteers@boulderjcc.org for more information.
