Volunteers

Help at a market

The Southwest, Kingfield and Nokomis Farmers Markets are made possible in large part because of neighbors who share a little time. If you love your neighborhood market, we’d love to have you as part of our growing family of volunteers. As little as a couple hours a season at your market of choice would make a big difference. Plus, it’s a fun way to meet neighbors and show your support for local food and farmers!

Opportunity Highlight: Zero Waste Volunteers

Our zero-waste volunteers play a key role in helping the market reduce its environmental impact. By providing education and guiding visitors at waste stations, these volunteers make sustainable choices easier for everyone. Everyone from Community Recycling Ambassadors to beginners are welcome. No prior experience is required; training is provided. 

What volunteers do:

• Help market-goers sort waste correctly

• Reduce contamination in compost and recycling streams

• Share information and encouragement

Zero Waste Volunteering is a great way to…

• meet new people and connect with your community

• learn about recycling and composting in Minneapolis

• earn some market spending money! Volunteer 3+ times per season and get $15 in market tokens.

Shifts are from 9:30am to 12:00 noon, on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the market season. Learn more and sign up below!
