Family Volunteer Day - Green Chimneys

Enjoy the outdoors while giving back with a great morning tending to the animals and natural spaces that are helping children succeed. Whether you’re looking to introduce your child* to volunteerism or are seeking a community-minded way to honor Earth Day, our Family Volunteer Day will be both fun and meaningful. There is an old saying on farms that “Many hands make light work.” Taking care of horses, donkeys, goats, camels, llamas, and hundreds of other animals, as well as tending to our gardens, are BIG jobs. Stalls need to be cleaned, buckets have to be scrubbed, tack needs to be maintained, garden beds need to be prepared for fall, and animals need to be fed. Spend a morning in the main barns, on the farm, or in the gardens of Green Chimneys. We have different tasks for different ages and abilities – everyone will be able to do something. This is a great weekend activity for families. Come dressed for the weather and be prepared for a fun and interesting morning of hands-on work.
