Volunteering

FFI Volunteering For YOU

We hold service learning as a core value for our programs. Every team in our programs completes at least one significant and meaningful volunteer activity.

Event Volunteers

Day-of volunteer: These are one-time volunteer opportunities on the day of the event. These activities vary by event and range from registering guests and handing out t-shirts to running a 50/50 raffle and monitoring a putting green competition.

Program Volunteers

Ways for volunteers to take part in our programs include:

• Joining a group on a mountain hike or other team-building activity

• Give a tour of your school, organization, or work place

• Hosting a group dinner at your home, or sponsoring a dinner out

• Offering your residence or vacation home to host the group for their time here

• Organizing a group community service project or multi-cultural activity

• Soliciting local grocery stores or gas stations for in-kind donations

Garden Volunteers

Originally installed in 2015 and recently revived and enlarged in 2017, the Friends Forever International Peace Garden is a true community garden, which could never have been built without the hard work, resources, and dedication of our wonderful volunteers!  All of our supporters are welcome & encouraged to visit as our produce grows, and to take some home with them. 

We are currently looking for a dedicated team or organization to take on the day-to-day care of the garden. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please contact Katiemae at katiemae@ff.international.

Volunteer Events

Volunteer Events generally occur once a quarter for our newsletter mailings, although we also host others for special event mailings and other projects.

Intern At FFI

FFI offers rolling internships to college students in their junior and senior years. Interns often take on research projects, organizational projects, and small jobs around the office, but we are always open to your input as to what you want to achieve! We'd love to develop a video/film internships as well as a sustainable design internship. Hours are flexible.
