A Crew for Hope

Hope Rising Farm – Volunteer as a Team and Make a Lasting Difference
At Hope Rising Farm, we believe healing happens when people connect deeply with the land, animals, and each other. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space where everyone can find hope, strength, and belonging through these connections.

We invite teams from workplaces and communities to join us for a day of hands-on work that supports this mission. Your time and effort will help maintain and prepare the farm – a place that nurtures wellbeing and renewal for many.

Tasks your team can help with:

• Weeding, a vital ongoing job that keeps the farm healthy and thriving
• Sorting and moving materials to prepare for upcoming projects
• Clearing and tidying planting areas, creating room for new life to grow
• General tidying and weed eating to care for the land
• Fencing work, including straightening battens, or more complex repairs if your team has experience
• Spraying weeds with all protective gear provided
• Looking ahead, your team might also help with:
• Laying paving to improve farm access and safety
• Setting up a seedling nursery to grow plants that will restore and beautify the farm
• Building obstacles for our arena, supporting farm activities and therapy

Why volunteer with your team at Hope Rising Farm?

• Step away from the everyday and experience the deep satisfaction of working alongside others to care for a place that heals
• Learn new skills and witness the real impact of your efforts in a community grounded in care
• Strengthen your team’s connection through shared work, stories, and laughter in a beautiful outdoor setting
• Be part of something bigger — supporting a vision of hope, healing, and belonging

Important details:

• Ideal group size: 10 people
• Larger teams can be split into two groups with a shared lunch, giving everyone a chance to connect and contribute
• We host one volunteer team per month, ensuring quality support and a meaningful day

Past teams tell us they leave Hope Rising Farm feeling inspired, proud, and deeply connected — both to the work they’ve done and to the kaupapa that guides us.
