Help Us Grow Volunteer

Get your hands dirty with one of the best volunteer gigs in Chicago! Green City Market relies on our community of volunteers to help make the magic happen at our year-round farmers' markets.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer shifts with Green City Market typically last two to three hours and take place outdoors — rain or shine! — at our farmers' markets. Green City Market is seeking volunteers to:

Assist in the Info Booth, helping answer shoppers' questions, selling merchandise, and overseeing GCM's single-use waste sorting stations to help shoppers properly compost and recycle
Manage market entrances and count the number of customers that enter and exit the market area
Assist with our kids’ programming table, Club Sprouts, where we offer fun, seasonal, educational activities and lessons teaching kids about sustainable food in Chicago
Assist at Chef Parking — a complimentary parking area for the many Chicago chefs who shop at GCM for fresh, high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients — directing chefs to their designated parking area and providing parking passes
