Coffee & Tea Morning Table - This is a fun volunteer opportunity that allows community members to meet and greet the EWS parents every morning in the gazebo for coffee, tea, and baked goods. Volunteers are asked to volunteer just 1 morning per week. Contact Pat McKenzie for more information.

Gardening Volunteers - Help grow, sell, eat, or write about the Emerson Waldorf  farm garden.  Just a stroll away from the main campus, our beautiful garden grows and we have many opportunities for families to learn about biodynamic gardening through a variety of tasks.
