Kelsey Creek Farm Offers Exciting Opportunities for Teen Volunteers

The City of Bellevue is offering a great volunteer opportunity for teens this fall at Park.

Imagine helping the farm staff with the daily operations, helping with animal chores and learning responsible animal care on a working farm! This is a perfect opportunity to earn community service hours for school credit, prepare for future employment, learn about a variety of farm animals and contribute to the community farm.

Volunteers should have a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, a tolerance for being outside, and an interest in animals. Tasks will include cleaning the barn and the small animal area, preparing farm animals' meals, helping with farm maintenance and working with the public.

All volunteers are required to wear proper attire for farm environment and closed-toed shoes (no sandals).

Sign up by e-mailing pmyers@bellevuewa.gov or calling Pam at 425-452-4106. All volunteers must pre-register. Visit myparksandrecreation.com or call 425-452-6885 or e-mail Kelseycreekfarm@bellevuewa.gov for more information.
