 Common Threads Farm Volunteer Application and Orientation material

Here's the Common Threads Farm training agenda for the week of 11/6-11/10--let Emily Hie emily.hie@commonthreadsfarm.org know if you can make it on any of these days.

​

Common Threads Office location:

801 W. Orchard Drive (Suite 2)

• Safety Guidelines for Bellingham Schools,

•  Cooking Club Roles 

​

I've compiled some onboarding resources for all of you to look through as you're able, and I've listed your weekly availability at the top as well so that we can easily reference what's current for you. Please take a look at the logistics document for the club that you've been assigned to, as well as the education and behavior management resources that will inform you on how to interact safely and professionally with the students we serve.

Important heads up: We're about to transition from gardening season into cooking season, starting on November 13th. This won't affect after school clubs, but will affect the days and times that we're teaching at different schools during the school days, so if you're doing school day work with us, please keep that in mind! We will not be teaching school day lessons the week of November 6th to make time for cooking season training with our staff. Once I have that training schedule mapped out, I will share it with you--you are welcome to join in person for any trainings you can make!
