Job Description:

To apply:

Briggs Ave Community Garden is welcoming new volunteers for our 2026 growing season! Whether you’re planting seeds, harvesting produce, spreading mulch, organizing spaces, or simply making friends and enjoying popsicles, there’s a place for you in our community.

What Volunteers Do

Briggs Ave Community Garden is an agricultural education space owned by the North Carolina Agriculture Foundation at NCSU. As part of the Extension program, we teach families how to grow food using USDA Organic methods and safe, seed‑to‑table practices. 30% of all produce grown is donated to the Durham Technical Community College pantry, supporting food access for local students.

CANDOR Farm supports the West End Free Market, by growing foods that reflect and respect local preferences, ensuring that fresh, culturally relevant produce is available at market. This also strengthens the market’s ability to sustain itself over time. This cycle of care and collaboration dismantles traditional hierarchies of food access, replacing them with a framework of shared abundance.

Please wear long pants and sleeves. Bring water, sun protection and anything else to make yourself comfortable. We'll come together to make friends, pull weeds and our priority will be harvesting and processing goods for West End Free Market the next day.

We do not have onsite access to a bathroom. Foster's market closes at 3pm, there is a gas station across the street and CANDOR's building is at Part and Parcel about a mile drive away.

We're ready to serve the community, but we need your help. Please volunteer to pack, organize and distribute food to community residents with us. Your support and help is crucial for Southside Church of Christ food pantry to thrive in serving others. 

Thank you in advance!

Need Volunteers to help with food distribution at food pantry on Saturday mornings from 8 am to 12 noon. There are also some weekday hours available. Inquire if interested.

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has a number of internship opportunities available for students in the Raleigh area and covering:

Internships are for 3 - 4 months, based on the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters (Jan - May, May - August, late August - December). 

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is an innovative hunger-relief organization serving seven counties within the Triangle and surrounding.  We believe hunger IS fixable if the community works together to do two things: create sources of healthy food in every low-income neighborhood and grow opportunities for people to provide for themselves by learning job skills or growing their own food.

From BackPack Buddies to nutrition education; mobile markets to community gardens; culinary job training to agriculture training, we go directly to people in need and create what works to empower them.  We feed. We teach. We grow…to create a hunger-free and healthy community.

Volunteers are crucial to the operation of the Museum of Durham History as we provide programs and experiences to Durham residents and visitors. Our commitment to volunteers is to provide meaningful volunteer experience and effective direction in an environment that is friendly, comfortable, educational, and fun.

Welcome to Purpose Learning Lab Literacy Program,

The reading buddies program allows older students the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Students can not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in poor readers, and this program provides students with a reason to read easier books.

Reading to younger students can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read. Younger students should also read to their older buddies each week, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency. Because the program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. Ideally, buddy visits will be ongoing, and older and younger students will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.

As a volunteer, you can:

Mentor and tutor students in academics.

Support hands-on STREAM labs and field trips.

Assist with events, workshops, and community nights.

Provide encouragement, guidance, and a listening ear.

No special skills required—just a willingness to give your time and energy to our youth.

Our boys need more than just homework help—they need role models who show up, guide them, and cheer them on. At Purpose Learning Lab, we believe that positive male influence is powerful in shaping discipline, confidence, and determination in academics and beyond.

We are calling on fathers, uncles, brothers, coaches, and leaders in our community to step into this vital role. As a Male Homework Guide Volunteer, you will:

Model focus, persistence, and positive attitudes toward learning.

Help boys stay organized and accountable with daily assignments.

Encourage resilience, responsibility, and self-confidence.

You don’t need to be a teacher—just a consistent presence who cares.

Join us today and help build a culture where boys see men invested in their success. Together, we can ensure that every child has the academic and emotional support they deserve.
