Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers wanted and a green thumb is not needed!

Edible Evanston and its associated projects can use your help.

Two waivers are required to participate: one for Edible Evanston, and one for the City of Evanston. You can sign it on-site, but if you are under 18 years old a parent or guardian must sign.

It's easiest to sign using the online versions

- City of Evanston waiver form
- Edible Evanston and Climate Action Evanston form

The Edible Evanston/Climate Action Evanston release is also available here if you prefer to print it and bring a copy with you.

If you have questions, email our volunteer coordinator.

Watch this space for details on all our other opportunities, dates and requirements or contact us.
