Volunteer at the Market!
Thank you to all our Market Volunteers – we could not do it without your hard work and dedication!
Volunteering is an excellent way to become more involved in the Uxbridge Farmers’ Market, support local farms, and connect with your community. You can also earn your high school community service hours.
If you are interested in joining our Volunteer team, please read the following details carefully before you fill out the form below.
The Farmers' Market runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday rain or shine - volunteers must dress for the weather as the market is outdoors. This year, Volunteers will support the UFM in two distinct areas: at the Front Entrance/Welcome Table and the Kids’ Zone. The Kids’ Zone is new to 2024 and will offer a variety of interactive programming for kids to enjoy while their families shop at the market. These include but are not limited to sensory play tables, colouring sheets, scavenger hunts, and simple arts and crafts. The Kids' Zone is NOT a daycare service and children are not to be left in the care of the Kids' Zone Volunteer.
Volunteers attending the Front Entrance/Welcome Table are responsible for:
welcoming guests to the market
tracking # of entrants (using handheld counter device)
handing out raffle tickets
informing guests of any special events/demos taking place
assisting with basic setup/cleanup
Volunteers attending the Kids' Zone are responsible for:
hyping up the Kids' Zone area
welcoming kids and families over
encouraging kids to participate
offering simple instruction and low-level support for kids' activities
assisting with basic setup/cleanup
We look forward to your application! Please direct any questions to Gabi at UxbridgeFM.Manager@gmail.com.
