Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities and Internships

GrowNYC Greenmarkets, Fresh Food Boxes, and Farmstands remain open as essential food access points for all New Yorkers. Regularly scheduled volunteer opportunities at GrowNYC have been postponed until further notice due to COVID-19, at this time we are only in need of volunteers to assist GrowNYC Staff as they implement required safety protocols. If you are willing and able, we welcome your help as we work to support farmers and create safe food access for New Yorkers.

Looking for corporate or individual volunteer opportunities at GrowNYC? Head over to our volunteer page. GrowNYC has many opportunities for volunteers to dig in and improve New York City's environment block by block and community by community.  Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.

Please register for one-off volunteer opportunities here.

Is your dream internship not listed here? Contact us! GrowNYC offers project-specific experiential internships (or for academic credit with prior institutional approval), as available. Please use our contact form to tell us about your internship idea. Include information about your interests, skills, education, and which program(s) you’d be interested in working with.

Jobs with Farmers & Producers

If you are interested in working for a Greenmarket farmer or producer, either at their market stand or as an intern on the farm, please see the job listing, and also follow the NYC Greenmarket Employee Resource page on Facebook for additional opportunities. 
*Note - Greenmarket farmers and producers operate independent businesses. Individuals hired by Greenmarket producers are not employees of GrowNYC or Greenmarket. 

As New York City and State responds to COVID-19, we want to update you on the steps we are taking--and recommending to you--to maintain GrowNYC Greenmarkets, Farmstands, and Fresh Food Box sites as vital community spaces in this time of uncertainty.
