We Need Volunteers!

Volunteers fuel Farming for the Future. The Conference Committee starts planning in May by volunteering their time to come up with the conference theme, program and speakers. Then the conference staff kicks in to pull all of the pieces together. Many volunteers are needed in the weeks before and after the conference, as well as at the conference center during the event. Help assure a smooth running conference by volunteering! We need help packing and moving, in the registration, merchandise and auction areas, and more. If you live in the Centre Region or have extra time to give, consider a WorkShare. Call PASA, email anna@pasafarming.org or download a Workshare/Volunteer Application here to get involved!

Become a WorkShare!

As part of our dedication to making the conference accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation, PASA is once again offering the WorkShare Program as a way to reduce conference costs. Fill out the WorkShare Application Form (download here) and email the completed form to anna@pasafarming.org. A deposit of 25% of estimated conference fees is required to secure your registration.

We need volunteers and WorkShares starting a month before the conference! Mostly, we need help Monday – Friday, 9-5 in our Millheim offices for the month of January, and everyday starting Friday, January 29th through the end of the conference on Saturday, February 5, both in Millheim and at the Penn Stater Conference Center.

Non-local residents will find it difficult to complete more than 8 hours as a WorkShare. You cannot use WorkShare time towards the cost of meals. We will contact to you to confirm the receipt of your application and registration. You will receive more detailed information closer to the conference once a volunteer schedule is available, and will be required to confirm the hours you are scheduled.
