Our volunteers are the heart of our composting program - without them, our compost wouldn't be possible! Join our compost crew to get involved in the action! Whether you're passionate about reducing food waste, supporting a circular food system, looking to build community, or just love getting your hands in the dirt, we have space for you on our team!
Compost Volunteer Opportunities
Happy Bean Pickup
​
Volunteers transport buckets of coffee grounds and filters from Happy Bean to the compost at our site. Volunteers also collect important data by recording and logging the temperature of the compost pile.
Seasonal Opportunities
​
We have a variety of volunteer opportunities available each month depending on our compost needs! These can include painting compost buckets, building a compost pile cover, sifting the compost, helping with events,
and other compost pick-up initiatives!
Compost Pile Maintenance
Join us in maintaining our compost pile with tasks like flipping, adding browns, adding greens, watering, weeding, and collecting data! The work changes with the season, so there's always something to do!
Want to volunteer but don't see a day or time that works for you in our calendar? Email our compost coordinator at CommunityRootsVISTA@gmail.com to make a personalized volunteer schedule for you based on your availability!
