Volunteer Shift Sign-Up:
-
You must complete your Refresher Course before returning to volunteer at the farm.
-
At this time, Critter Crew members may register for ONE shift per week. This is to provide more kids with the opportunity to come to the farm. We currently have fewer volunteers per shift.
-
Please review the descriptions under each shift before registering your Critter Crew member for additional details about that shift.
-
Critter Barn is following the recommendation of the Governor to wear face masks in enclosed public areas.
-
This is a temporary situation, so as circumstances change, our protocols will change. We will update this when the situation shifts. Thank you for understanding. We value the opportunity to work with our Crew members!
