AntFarm provides many volunteer opportunities for youth. We focus on teaching youth sustainability and how to give back to their communities. Youth of all ages are welcome to volunteer with at AntFarm in one of our programs.

CommunityConnect: This is our flagship program where we take youth out into the community to do yardwork for elderly or disabled people. Often, elders in our community get overlooked and cannot do the tasks they used to do with ease. We go out into Estacada on Wednesdays and Sandy on Saturdays, and we provide this service free of charge to anyone in need. Doing this work builds self-esteem and confidence in our youth volunteers, and shows the elders in our community that we have not forgotten about them.

WoodLot: Our WoodLot is a space off highway 26 where we chop and stack donated wood, typically from fallen trees, and then deliver that wood to people in need during our cold winter months. Our youth volunteers that help at the woodlot learn valuable skills, like how to chop wood safely and effectively, how to properly stack and store wood, and the different types of trees and lumber that are found here in Oregon.

Planet365: If you have been to the Sandy transfer station, our outdoor building by the Dairy Queen in Sandy, or the parking lot of the dental offices in Welches, you may have seen one of our bottles and cans trailers. We collect donated cans and bottles, then sort them and return them for the bottle deposits. This helps to fund some of the great things we get to do with youth . . . Youth that volunteer with Planet365 help to sort the cans and bottles, and they also learn a valuable lesson about taking care of our planet and how to make sustainable choices.

LearningGarden: Our LearningGarden in Sandy has been providing a space for youth to interact with plants and learn how to grow their own groceries for years. We have now expanded into Estacada through a partnership with Harmony Bakery and have a garden in that space as well. Youth that volunteer in our gardens learn practical skills about growing plants, but also learn the importance of knowing where your food comes and gain self-esteem from being able to produce their own food.
