Home Orchard Education Center
A 501(c)3 non-profit centered around an established fruit-focused botanical garden, located in Clackamas County, Oregon.
HOEC offers horticultural education, volunteer opportunities, a venue for inter-generational connection, and fruit-focused CSA subscriptions within a unique Community Orchard setting. This special gathering place is a humming hive of community collaboration, and a hub for the distribution of fresh, local, naturally grown fruit.
We're looking for passionate volunteers to help with event planning, fundraising, and outreach.
If you're enthusiastic about local food systems and want to help HOEC teach more students, feed more families, and raise awareness of our community orchard, we'd love to have you on our team!
Ideal candidates are eager to make a difference and aren't already overcommitted. Join us in making a positive impact in our community!
