Project Status

Farming Concrete is looking for volunteers, interns, and funding! We have pending (but likely) fiscal sponsorship and a source of equipment, but we need your help.

Why we need volunteers:

  • Make a map of areas within community gardens that are under cultivation (raised beds, etc.). No skills necessary to participate, but if you’re familiar with ArcGIS, you’ll be needed! A great chance to be outdoors and in the gardens. We’ll be using Walking Papers.
  • Reach out to gardens and spread word! We hope to have up to $100 compensation for each garden that participates. If you are a gardener (or just an enthusiast) and you’re excited about this project, please volunteer some time to help us recruit up to 200 community gardens!
  • Like to do documentary work on the urban agriculture/food movement? We need photographers, filmmakers, and graphic designers.

To volunteer or intern for any of these wonderful callings, email volunteer@farmingconcrete.com.
