Current Volunteer Opportunities
ASAP’s Farm Tour (June 22-23): As a Farm Tour volunteer, you spend one afternoon welcoming visitors at a participating farm from 12-5 pm. In exchange, receive a free tour pass (good for a full carload of tour goers) to visit farms on the day you aren’t working. Volunteering is a great way to connect with a local farm, make new farm friends, and meet people from across the region! Sign up here.
Asheville City Market Volunteer: Assist with special events, promotions, surveys, and more at our Saturday morning downtown farmers market. Great for people who enjoy interacting with the public! Contact mike@asapconnections.org for more information.
Photography Volunteer: Are you a photo student or an amateur or professional photographer? Contact ASAP to find out how you can help promote local food and farms with your photography. Photographers who volunteer with ASAP tell the story of food and agriculture in the mountains by taking photos at local farms, events, farmers markets, farm tours, and more. For details, contact Lee Seabrook at lee@asapconnections.org.
Office Volunteers: We love our office volunteers! Enjoy data entry, filing, making phone calls, or assembling materials? We can use your organizational know-how and office support! Contact robin@asapconnections.org.
Arts and Crafts Volunteers: If you are a quilter, sign maker, seamstress, woodworker, potter, painter, puppeteer…we would love to apply your passion towards creating materials to connect our community with local food and farms. We have lots of crafty wish list items, including paperweights for event tabling, costumes, photo booth props, signage, games, and more. Check out a list of sample possible projects.
