Volunteer

Education

You can become a volunteer for MALT and contribute to saving Marin's vibrant agricultural community.
As a MALT volunteer, you:


  • Help lead MALT tours of ranches and family farms in West Marin where you meet the people who locally grow and produce delicious food and wine
  • Help educate the next generation about the importance of healthy, local food through our Farm Field Studies program which brings kids to the farm
  • Help educate people throughout the Bay Area about preserving farmland through our speakers' series, Food & Farming on the Urban Edge
  • Staff our fun and educational booth at fairs, farmers' markets, and other events & let others know about how they too can help preserve Marin County farmland
  • Help run our incredible special events, like Taste of Marin (in collaboration with Marin Organic and Marin County Farmers' Market Association) and our annual major fundraiser, the Ranches & Rolling Hills Landscape Art Show
  • Help with various tasks at our office in Point Reyes Station

Those interested in volunteering are required to attend two days of orientation and training and commit to working an average of five hours per month for one year.

The orientation includes an extensive overview of MALT's programs and mission. Each day ends with a visit and introduction to a local ranch or farm.

The 2009 training sessions are scheduled for Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, February 8 in Point Reyes Station.  If you are interested in becoming a MALT volunteer, please complete the MALT Volunteer Enrollment Form which is available in PDF format.
