We often get requests from people who want to know how they can be more involved, from participating in long range plans, taking responsibility for a critical task, working on a committee, serving as an advisor, tie-dyeing banners, or any number of other tasks.

Want to be more involved in the planning for 2012 and beyond? 
We have room for you on our Planning Committee and our Teams!  The Planning Committee (consisting of Team Leaders and the Event Coordinator) meets monthly and coordinates with the EC by phone and/or email between meetings. Teams are formed to accomplish tasks ranging from Banner placement to Signage to Volunteers, and team meetings are held only as needed to get the work done.

If you are interested or need more information e-mail Pam Thomas or give her a call at 312-6395.

Volunteering for Francisco's Farm is very family friendly - if you have family members who might like to volunteer, invite them to join you! We have several jobs that young people (generally children over 8 years old) can help with both before and during the festival and we love having them join us!
