    Description

    Do you like fighting hunger & food waste in your own community, making your own volunteer schedule, and working outside? You may love being a Harvest Leader Harvest Leaders are trained volunteers who harvest fruit all across Southern California.

    Who: Food Forward communicates with homeowners and managers of private properties, parks, farms, and orchards who are interested in donating their fruit.

    Why: We often have more fruit-filled properties than we are able to harvest. Without more Harvest Leaders, that fruit will go to waste A Harvest Leader and a few other volunteers will harvest hundreds of pounds of food to donate at an average harvest event.

    What To Expect:

    Harvest Leaders can choose to harvest fruit trees in any of the following ways: (1) by themselves; (2) with family and/or friends; or (3) by leading harvest events that are open to volunteers from the public (which Food Forward recruits for you).

    We'll help you identify a property and a time that works for you to harvest.

    You can let us know what days and times you prefer to volunteer, but we ask Harvest events take 2-3 hours in total, including setting up before and wrapping up after.

    What's Required:

    We'll have you check out a harvest with a trained Harvest Leader. If you love it, we'll get you through the rest of our training and paperwork process A background check (free to you) is required.

    You just need to bring some equipment (which we'll give you), register any people joining you and help them get started, and harvest as much fruit as possible

    Harvest Leaders to commit to volunteering at 6 harvest events over the course of a year or less. Of course, if you'd like to volunteer more, we'd be thrilled.

    You will need to be comfortable lifting boxes weighing 20 pounds.

    You'll also need reliable access to a vehicle to transport harvesting equipment and deliver the produce to a local hunger relief agency.

    Additional information:

    Food Forward provides liability insurance for the event.

    We harvest fruit (and some veggies too) all across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, although we need Harvest Leaders in West Los Angeles specifically.

    Joining our Event Leader community also connects you with folks from all walks of life who are passionate about food access, food waste, sustainability, and the outdoors. You'll have a regular opportunity to make a big impact, and you'll get to meet some great people and trees along the way.

    After clicking "Express Interest", keep an eye out for an email from our Volunteer Team We will work together to find a date for you to check out a harvest. Thank you

    This opportunity is managed by an L.A. Works partner, Food Forward.
