Spend time with the goats along the forest edge while they browse, wander, and investigate whatever seems important in the woods that day. This is a quieter volunteer shift and a nice fit for people who enjoy nature, slower-paced farm time, and the company of goats who are technically on a walk but still very much making their own decisions. Bring a book if you like, enjoy the fresh air, and help keep an eye on the herd while they enjoy an outing.

What You’ll Be Doing
This shift focuses on walking and hanging out with the goats at the forest edge while they browse and enjoy a change of scenery. Volunteers help keep an eye on the herd, make sure everyone stays together, and enjoy some peaceful outdoor time with the goats. At the end of the shift, volunteers help refill water buckets as the goats settle back into the pasture.

Bring a refillable water bottle and wear clothes and shoes you do not mind getting dirty.

This shift is best for volunteers who are comfortable outdoors and able to stay attentive even during quieter moments.

Volunteers under 13 years old must have a parent remain on the property during the shift.

Attendance Policy: Please Read Carefully
The goats rely on this shift to get their walk and time out at the forest edge and there are limited slots for volunteers. If someone signs up and does not show, that outing may not happen. If you do not show up without proper notice, you will not be able to volunteer here again. Cancel at least 12 hours in advance if you cannot attend.

For court-mandated volunteers: we report attendance to the courts, and a no-show will be reflected in your record accordingly.

We appreciate volunteers who are dependable and ready to help. This is a peaceful shift, a favorite for many people, and a great chance to spend time with goats in a beautiful setting while still doing something important for the farm.

Project Year: 2026–2027

We are seeking two enthusiastic adult volunteers to help lead our new 4‑H Teen Cooking Club, a hybrid program that builds real‑world kitchen skills, nutrition knowledge, and confidence in young people.

This club will partner with the Florida 4‑H Virtual Cooking Club, which will introduce and reinforce core topics such as kitchen safety, food handling, nutrition, and healthy living. Local, in‑person meetings will function as hands‑on kitchen skill labs, where teens will practice the technique they learned virtually and prepare a recipe that uses that skill.

Volunteer Role Overview:
Cooking Club Volunteers will support youth as they build foundational culinary skills and understand the science, safety, and nutrition behind cooking.

Time Commitment:
2–4 hours per month, plus optional support during special cooking sessions or events.

Support youth in planning and creating a short film for Smithsonian 4‑Histories
Guide teens in basic video production skills (storyboarding, filming, editing)
Encourage teamwork, creativity, and positive youth development
Help coordinate meeting logistics and project timelines
Ensure a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment

Time Commitment:
2–4 hours per month, plus additional time during project milestones if available.

Details about the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program

Under the corporate umbrella of DRMI, the G&GP was created in 2019 to bridge the digital and generational divide between youth and seniors. The program is multi-generational and serves two main demographics – youth and seniors. Youth complete a 4-week workshop series including professional and interpersonal skills featuring community professionals, meaningful learning activities, and youth are introduced to the fields of STEAM as career options. Youth learn to embrace collaboration with other youth and seniors, address ageism and cultivate intergenerational relationships with older generations, while paying it forward through volunteerism. Youth have the capacity to learn soft and hard skills to be more successful in school and as productive members of the community in general. Youth are designated as: Navigators (ages 8-12), Demonstrators (ages 13-16) and Facilitators (ages 17-19).

The DRMI G&GP is the only program in the Big Bend area of Florida that partners youth 8-19 as SMEs to train/help seniors learn the stewardship of digital technology and cultivate intergenerational relationships with a goal of reducing feelings of isolation/loneliness. Since its inception in 2019, the program has served 61 youth who have completed 72 workshop sessions and 571 volunteer hours.

Details about the DRMI Geeks & Gramps Program

Under the corporate umbrella of DRMI, the G&GP was created in 2019 to bridge the digital and generational divide between youth and seniors. Populations of seniors continue to increase as baby boomer reach retirement age. The Census Bureau 2020 population estimates, 54.1 million Americans are age 65+ with Florida ranking nationally as #2 in population of seniors. Like nationally, there remains a notable generational and digital divide between youth and seniors in our local areas.

The program is a multi-generational and serves two main demographics – youth and seniors. The goals of the program are to (1) empower seniors to stay connected with loved ones and remain engaged with their community in an effort to combat feelings of isolation and loneliness; (2) bridge the digital divide by helping seniors learn digital literacy and stewardship through group and one-on-one personalized coaching from youth; and (3) bridge the generational divide by connecting generations through technology while providing meaningful volunteer experiences for youth ages 8-18 and older adults. The program shows potential for keeping older adults engaged in life-long learning, social inclusion, cultivation of intergenerational relationships and development of leadership and work-readiness skills for youth.

The DRMI G&GP is the only program in the Big Bend area of Florida that partners youth 8-19 as SMEs to train/help seniors learn the stewardship of digital technology and cultivate intergenerational relationships with a goal of reducing feelings of isolation/loneliness.

MathPals:

The transition from middle school to high school is a critical time in a student’s life. Mentoring in middle school in the form of intervention can often decrease the number of students who drop out during that tough transition. For those students who dropped out, passing the End-of-Course exams was often the largest hurdle, in particular the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam.

Only 27% of Leon County Schools’ 2013-2014 level one students passed the Algebra 1 End of Course Exam.

This year, to work to increase the Algebra I passing rate in Leon County, United Way of the Big Bend is implementing the MathPals program at two local middle schools. MathPals will match caring volunteers one-to-one with middle school students who are struggling with the Algebra 1 skills needed to pass the End-of-Course exams. The MathPals curriculum will encourage students to master the Algebra 1 skills through exploration of math in the real world, collaborative learning, and independent practice.
