Volunteer: Flexible Community Service Shifts - extra hours between 8:30am-2:30p

Volunteer at the Farm: Lend a Hand, Learn Something New, Meet the Goats

Looking to earn community service hours or spend time in a peaceful, hands-on environment? Join us for a general volunteer shift and help support the daily work that keeps our farm running. Whether you're here for the goats, the fresh air, or just to give back, we’re glad to have you.

What You'll Be Doing
This shift includes a variety of important farm tasks, depending on the day. You might help clean barns, groom goats, assist with repairs, tidy up outdoor areas, or take on other projects that keep the farm healthy and running smoothly. It’s real work, but think of it as a free outdoor gym with goats!

Volunteer Hours

Shift is 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM (We do often finish earlier)

Need extra hours? You’re welcome to arrive early or stay later if you let us know in advance

If severe weather shortens your shift while you're already on-site, we’ll still credit you for the full time

Court-Mandated Service
We are approved for court-mandated community service hours and are happy to provide documentation or signed verification of your completed time for the court or your legal representative. 

Important Info

Bring a refillable water bottle and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty

If you arrive and don’t see anyone, come through the large red gate by the parking area and check in

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

We volunteer rain or shine, unless there are storms or unsafe weather conditions

Group Sign-Ups
We’ve paused team sign-ups because group bookings were taking all available spots and sometimes not showing up. If you’re coming with a group, you’re still welcome, just leave a note with the total number in your group.

Extra/Fewer Hours
If not working 8:30-2:30, please email melissa@goathousefarm.com with the hours you plan to work, OR include that information in the notes section when signing up. If you don’t specify, we’ll assume your shift is 8:30 to 11:30.

Need to Cancel?
Please cancel your shift at least 24 hours in advance. We truly rely on our volunteers to help keep the farm running. If you do not show up and have not canceled, we will remove any remaining shifts from the system and you will not be able to volunteer here again.

We’d Love to Have You
This is a fun, welcoming place to volunteer, and your time makes a real difference. Come ready to work, learn something new, and maybe make a few goat friends along the way.

Volunteer: Share Knowledge, Connections, and Resources with Students on the Social Platform for Social Mobility

Only 3% of high-performing, under-resourced students end up in a great first career experience. On our social platform, professionals like you can help change that.

Here's how:

1. Sign up via your computer at my.backrs.com or by downloading the Backrs mobile app from the Apple App or Google Play Stores.

2. Tell us a little about your background and experiences by completing your profile. This takes 5 mins. (Up to 15 if you'd like to give students more details about your hobbies and interests.)

3. We add you to identity-based, regional, university, and career-path Affinity Networks where you can connect with students you're well-positioned to support.

4. In Networks, you can answer students' questions, post resources or job/internship opportunities, and share insights into your college and career journey by responding to Backstage Pass posts. Though each of these actions takes a few minutes, they all have meaningful impacts on young people.

5. If you'd like to play a more involved role in a student's journey, you can join their panel of backrs. This enables you to view their goals, post on their personal feed, schedule Zoom check-ins, and even contribute to their Flourish Fund. It's a great choice for those looking to offer low-lift, relationship-driven support.

Best way to see how convenient and rewarding being a backr really is? Give it a try, commitment-free:

Sign up on your computer: my.backrs.com

Or get the Backrs mobile app: Apple App Store or Google Play Store

 

Our Impact Model

Research shows that cross-class relationships are the biggest predictors of social mobility. And financial margin increases the odds of college persistence four-fold.

We partner with schools and youth organizations to recruit committed high school and college students into our community. Then, by removing the barriers the keep well-resourced adults from connecting with under-resourced young people, our technology builds bridges across socioeconomic strata, enabling people like you to empower students like Diego R.

Diego R. joined Backrs so he could pursue his dream of becoming a biomedical engineer. Thanks to his talent, hard work, and the support he's received from his backrs, he's well on his way to making that dream a reality. As he explained:

"My brother was born with Chronic Kidney Disease. He’s the man who gives me the strength to pursue Biomedical Engineering and become an accomplished technician. I strive to make the lives of those who suffer like him better. I want to be the change he needs to be healthy."

All of the students in our community are driven to build a better world; when they're given the resources to do so, everyone around them benefits.

The Backrs Experience 

Being a great backr isn’t about grand gestures or having all the answers. It’s about the small things: sharing a word of encouragement. Passing along a helpful resource. Making an introduction. These actions make a big difference--take it from some of our current backrs: 

"As a backr, I love the opportunity to support and mentor my three proteges as they grow and develop. I feel grateful to be able to guide and shape their future in a positive way. Through Backrs, I have been able to watch them grow into confident and capable individuals, and it has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment that I can't put into words. It's made a tremendous difference in my life to see them achieve their goals and know that I played a role in helping them get there."

- Ahmed Dawood, Marketer at Apple

"Backrs gives me an opportunity to utilize my expertise to provide mentoring and support to students. Even though my students are a couple time zones away, I have the flexibility to connect with them on my time and have been dedicated to checking my app weekly at minimum to engage in conversations and answer questions. Its exciting to celebrate their wins and talk about future plans. Mentoring was very impactful in my life so it gives me joy to give back in this way."

- Lori Hunt, College Provost
