We are nothing without our volunteers! If you’d like to join our food-loving and sustainable-agriculture-supporting community, we are currently hiring for the Fall 26 season. Please email operations@brownmarketshares.com if you have any questions.
Market Day Volunteers
Market Day volunteers work the same one-hour shift every Thursday of the season between 9 AM and 7 PM at our pick up location, The Gate at Alumnae Hall (194 Meeting Street). Responsibilities include unloading, sorting, and counting produce deliveries; managing additional share items (bread, mushrooms, dairy, and meat) check-in, assisting shareholders, and cleaning up. Tasks vary throughout the day. All volunteers must attend our mandatory in-person training session from 12pm-1pm on Sunday, September 20th. Volunteers get to take one free produce item at the end of every shift. No one leaves empty handed!
Market Day Shift Leaders
Shift Leaders are responsible for directing Market Day volunteers during two-hour shifts. Responsibilities include organizing and delegating tasks to Market Day volunteers, managing Market Day logistics like shareholder sign-in and payments, answering shareholders' questions and concerns, and making sure the pick-up area is tidy and items are stocked at the end of the day.
Shift leaders are expected to commit to their two-hour shift every week. We expect applicants to have prior experience volunteering with Market Shares and to actively engage with the development of the program throughout the season. In return, shift leaders receive a third of a share each week for their hard work and dedication.
