If you are interested in Biology, Agriculture, or any other major, you are welcome to collaborate with Community Cooperative's Able Garden for a service learning project.

The mission of Community Cooperative is to eliminate hunger and homelessness in Lee County while simultaneously inspiring and supporting sustained positive change in its clients by delivering innovative food, education, and social service programs.

 

This is a recurring opportunity that occurs on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.

Once the application is received, Community Cooperative will conduct a background check. This process should only take 24-48 hours. Once complete, you will receive a notification that you are welcome to explore their volunteer opportunities calendar and sign up for open volunteer positions.

 

Students who complete this event gain skills in Teamwork/Collaboration and Professionalism/Work Ethic.

This aligns with the following Sustainable Development Goals: No Poverty (1), Zero Hunger (2), Good Health and Well-Being (3), and Reduced Inequalities (10)
