Since its beginning in 1982, Wellspring has been supported by volunteers. With Wellspring’s natural country setting, volunteers enjoy outdoor work, the peace and quiet, the birds and the camaraderie they feel while at Wellspring. Volunteers are deeply appreciated.
Garden Volunteers can help in the gardens or with the CSA from April through October. There is weeding, planting and harvesting to do. There are tasks for all kinds of folks, sit-down jobs and bending-over jobs. We prefer young people to be at least 12 years old. If accompanied by an adult, 8–11 year-olds can be helpful, too.
Events - We need volunteers for our festivals, long before the event. The Taste of Wellspring is on September 15th (Saturday). The Harvest Fest is Sat. and Sun. October 13 and 14. Please volunteer to serve on our Events Task Force 2 months before each event. Call today or email us if interested. (262) 675–6755 wellspring@hnet.net.
Land Stewards - We seek folks who love to work outdoors, grooming the trails or helping with landscaping projects. Opportunities run from May through October. Call Mary Ann at (262) 675–6755.
Committees - Our Board of Directors are all volunteers. They each serve on a committee. We are always looking for folks to serve on the Program, Development or Finance Committee which meets about 4 times a year. Volunteers are welcome to join a special Task Force which focuses on short-term projects.
