FFI Volunteering For YOU

We hold service-learning as a core value for our programs. Every team in our programs completes at least one significant and meaningful volunteer activity.

Garden Volunteers

The Friends Forever International Peace Garden is a true community garden, which could never have been built without the hard work, resources, and dedication of our wonderful volunteers! All of our supporters are welcome & encouraged to visit as our garden grows and take some vegetables home. 


We are currently looking for a dedicated team or organization to take on the garden's day-to-day care. If you are interested in being a part of this team, please contact Amelia at amelia@ff.international.
