The Joys of Volunteering
Harvest produce at our Aquaponics Innovation Center, help us prepare ECO-Cycle Aquaponics kits for classrooms, or bring your unique skill sets to help our team in the office. Volunteers must be 18 or older to participate.
Volunteer with your Group or Organization
We are happy to arrange group volunteer experiences for corporate and social groups! Fill out a volunteer application to talk about tailoring your experience to your purposes.
Volunteer at our Aquaponics Innovation Center
We are always looking for helping hands at our Aquaponics Innovation Center. Learn about the science of aquaponics and the workings of our state-of-the-art system while tending to or harvesting the produce we donate.
Volunteer at Annual Gala
Volunteering at one of our events is a fantastic way to show your support and meet like-minded people. Great way to learn more about our community, get an insider’s knowledge of production and meet the best community around.
With ECOLIFE, I had the opportunity to learn a whole new approach to sustainable food systems. Not only are the staff passionate in what they do, but they are intentional in what they want to accomplish. Thank you ECOLIFE!

My internship at ECOLIFE has taught me more than I could have learned in a classroom. As the social media intern, I learned marketing skills and how truly important social networking is to a company. The hands-on experience has been priceless.
