Volunteer Work Weekend


  • The Ecology School at River Bend Farm 184 Simpson Road Saco, ME, 04072 (map)

Spend the weekend at River Bend helping care for the land, gardens, trails, and spaces that make this place so special. From planting in the farm fields to trail maintenance, painting projects, kitchen support, and sprucing up campus, Volunteer Weekend is a chance to lend your hands & connect with others.

Whether you come for the full weekend or just for a day, there will be time to work hard, eat well, relax, and soak in the beauty of early summer at River Bend. Families, couples, friends, and solo volunteers are all welcome. Well-supervised children are encouraged to join alongside their adults. Your weekend includes shared meals, community time, and optional on-campus lodging* at no cost. (Donations are happily accepted to help offset food and lodging expenses.)
