Volunteer with Our Dairy Goat Project: Support Youth, Community, and Goats
Are you passionate about youth development, agriculture, and community engagement? Our Dairy Goat Project is looking for dedicated volunteers to help guide and support young participants as they learn the ins and outs of goat care, showing, and responsibility.
This is a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting impact in the lives of youth while also having a little fun on the farm.
What You'll Be Doing

-
Helping recruit youth participants by reaching out to local schools and community organizations
-
Assisting with on-farm activities such as training, chores, and showmanship practice
-
Supporting youth at the North Florida Fair Dairy Goat Show
-
Acting as a mentor, cheerleader, and extra set of hands as needed
You do not need any prior goat experience. All training is provided, and we’ll make sure you feel confident and prepared.
Schedule and Commitment
-
Flexible, hybrid hours (some tasks can be done remotely)
-
Must commit to approximately ten hours per month from March through November
-
Evening and weekend availability is helpful but not required
Requirements
-
A background check is required for this role

Why It Matters
Our Dairy Goat Project isn’t just about animals. It’s about building confidence, responsibility, and leadership in young people. As a volunteer, you’ll be part of something that changes lives, one goat (and one kid) at a time.
