There are several ways to volunteer with NOFA/Mass. We welcome short or long term volunteers, interns, work study students, etc.

Since NOFA/Mass started, many hundreds of volunteers have reached out to us to offer their time, skills and resources. Your gift of service, whether you have a lot of time or a little, is valuable and makes a difference.

Here is a short list of possibilities

• serve on one of our standing board committees
• development, personnel, board development, education, finance, strategic planning
• attend outreach events on NOFA’s behalf and/or be a conduit to get NOFA literature into appropriate local outlets like college campuses, food coops, libraries, etc.
• serve on event committees such as the winter and summer conferences or provide specific short term help around the time of the conferences
• work as a focused work study volunteer – in the past we have had PR assistance for conferences, help with designing databases for the the bulk order, doing research on a specific topic like urban chickens, carbon research, etc.
• volunteer to make phone calls when we are recruiting past attendees to the summer or winter conferences
• providing specific skills such as lawyering, logo design, communications advice
• serve as a member of the NOFA/Mass board of directors
• offer a workshop at your farm or garden or at a NOFA conference

If you’re interested in volunteering, interning or doing a work study position with us through your university, please get in touch with our Executive Director Julie Rawson by email at julie@nofamass.org or phone at 978-355-2853.

Remember, NOFA was started by volunteers like yourself; it’s what builds community!
