Want to contribute to more sustainable and healthy local food systems? Volunteer with New Entry! We welcome people who bring energy, creativity, knowledge, and fun to our work. We strive to build relationships and community with our volunteers so that we may learn from one another. Our dedicated volunteers are vital to the success of our programs and our work transforming the food system in Massachusetts, New England and beyond.
