What will I gain?
Volunteering can be a great way to meet like-minded people who share the same enthusiasm as you for good food and a healthy planet.
Being a volunteer will also be an interesting way of getting to know about how we work and at the same time learn new skills and gain valuable experience.
Strengthen your CV
Volunteering with us can help you to get a foot on the career ladder or help you to get back to work after a career break.
Volunteering award
Our volunteering award recognises Soil Association volunteers who have made a difference, been an inspiration to others and have showed a real commitment to the cause.
How do I get involved?
We'd love to hear from you but can't promise a volunteer post. Some times are busier than others like during the Soil Association Organic Fortnight. We may need to call you at short notice, so the more local you are the better.
Our volunteering opportunities are advertised on our website. Bookmark this page and keep an eye out for opportunities that interest you.
Work placements and internships
We are in the process of setting up schemes. Please be patient.
Equal Opportunities
The Soil Association supports the principle of equal opportunities in employment.
