Volunteering at Martha’s Community Farm - Next Steps

We are so happy that you are interested in coming back to the Farm as an individual volunteer! Please read below for the next steps to become a volunteer at the Farm!

3 Steps to Volunteering

1.) Sign up to a volunteer using the below form

2.) Complete your volunteer clearances

3.) Schedule your first volunteer session

Step 1

Fill out the volunteer form! This form adds you to our volunteer list so we can contact you about your volunteer sessions and reach out with questions if needed.

Step 2

We ask that you please complete the mandatory clearances outlined in the link below.   It may look like a lot, but I promise it’s pretty easy and straightforward. You will see step by step directions on how to obtain the required clearances, as well as the codes you can enter to avoid having to pay for the clearances. 

Volunteer Clearance Link: www.marthaschoicemarketplace.com/volunteer-home/clearances

When prompted, use the password martha (all lowercase) to enter, and follow the directions and links!

Additionally, you can contact Jean, our client services and office manager, at this email: jschmitz@chs-adphila.org. Should you have any questions or need any assistance in obtaining any of these clearances.

Step 3

Schedule your first volunteer session! Now that you have your clearances completed, you can sign up for your first volunteer session. Below are step by step photo instructions detailing how to do that! Feel free to reach out to engage@marthascommunityfarm.org with any questions about this step!

Scheduling Your Volunteer Shift

  • Locate the Community Corner Page

    On the home page of the website locate the “More” tab at the top. Hover over the tab and select “Community Corner” from the drop-down menu.

  • Enter the Password

    You will be prompted to enter a password to access this page. The password is “Volunteer”

    Please make sure that the V in Volunteer is capitalized.

  • Select "Schedule a Volunteer Shift"

    Select the box that says “Schedule a Volunteer Shift.” Clicking on that box will result in a pop up with 2 buttons.

    If you would like to become a recurring volunteer who volunteers consistently on a regular basis (same day each week), select that box.

    If you are volunteering for one day or whenever you have time, but not consistently every week, select one-time volunteer session.

  • Fill Out the Volunteer Schedule Form

    Use the form on the next page to schedule your volunteer date, select the day you would like to volunteer, the time and input your name and email. Click submit and you will be added to the Farm’s schedule. You will receive an email confirmation, and if needed, you can cancel your volunteer session from that email!
