Join us for a mandatory 45 minutes volunteer induction session at the farm where you will:
find out about our history
tour our cropping area, orchard and plant nursery
undertake a safety briefing.
Once you've learnt the essentials, you're eligible to attend our regular volunteer sessions and can get involved as often as you like. Please note: you need to register for each volunteer session separately. To do this, you need to set up an account in our online system JRNI to register (it's quick, easy and free).

Email a copy of your vaccination certificate or medical exemption certificate to: cityfarm@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au This is a one-off requirement. View our privacy protection notification and booking terms and conditions.
Before volunteering you also need to fill in the volunteer registration form.
