At the Thomas S. Gulotta Wheatley Farms & Arts Center, we believe everyone has something meaningful to contribute. Whether you are an experienced gardener, an artist, a student looking to give back, a retiree seeking connection, a corporate group, or someone simply looking to spend time in nature and community — there is a place for you here.
Our farm is more than a farm. It is a welcoming, inclusive space where people of all abilities come together to grow food, create art, care for animals, learn new skills, and build community.
Volunteers help support many areas of the farm and arts center, including:
- Gardening and planting

- Animal care support
- Arts and creative projects
- Special events and community programs
- Seasonal farm activities
- Food justice and donation efforts
- Beautification and outdoor projects
No experience is necessary — just a willingness to participate, learn, and be part of something positive.
We welcome:
- Individuals
- Families
- Students and scouts
- Corporate and community groups
- School partnerships
- People of all abilities and backgrounds
Volunteer opportunities can often be customized to match interests, abilities, and comfort levels. Whether you come once, seasonally, or become part of our ongoing volunteer family, your time and energy help our community grow. Come volunteer with us — together, we cultivate connection, creativity, inclusion, and purpose.
