Get Involved

There are lots of ways to get involved in the Pacific Garden Program.

• Work. Apply for a student job as a Robb Garden Intern - we hire for the academic year and also for the summer sessions. Positions are posted on Tiger Jobs.

• Volunteer. Become a registered volunteer and join our Grow Team. If you are interested, let us know by email to RobbGarden@pacific.edu. You will be contacted by our Volunteer Coordinator, who will arrange an appointment for you to go through our orientation and registration process (which takes about an hour). From then on, you will be on our list for all volunteering activities.

• Serve. Registered Volunteers can be trained to work independently on our Robb Garden Food Security Project. We've set aside a section of the garden exclusively for raising vegetables to be donated to local charities addressing food insecurity in our community. Volunteers work collaboratively with one another to prepare the beds, start seeds, plant seedlings, take care of weeding and pest control, and harvest the produce for donation.
  

• Study. Make the garden part of your course curriculum. If you would like to do a project in the garden to earn Research (197) or Internship (187) credits for your major, get in touch and we can help arrange it. Or just use the garden to do a short-term project for a class. Ask your professor to arrange a class trip to the garden!

Volunteering Opportunities beyond Pacific:  

Boggs Tract Community Farm is a 2.5 acre farm with a chicken coop, family plots, and a local CSA. Part of Puentes, a larger non-profit organization focused on sustainable agriculture, Boggs is a great place to learn more about where your food comes from and how it grows. If you would like to volunteer, visit Pacific's Reach Out page for Boggs Tract.
