      <title>ECO Farm</title>
      <link>https://www.vsvv.org/eco-farm</link>
      <description>Typical Volunteer Tasks: There are many activities that volunteers can select from on our farm. There are projects that are less physical, like gathering and processing our nest run eggs, washing and packaging produce, helping to plant seeds for our germination room and gardens, watering and harvesting vegetables and microgreens, and animal care.

There are also volunteer tasks that require a higher fitness level like weeding, spreading mulch, shoveling, mucking stalls, landscaping, compost management, and packing our vehicle with heavy boxes of produce.

We encourage everyone who has an interest to come by for a tour of the farm. Volunteers are also eligible for a raised bed in our community garden, which is enclosed and has a durable shade cover.</description>

Friends is a non-profit based in Cottonwood, Arizona, that implements on-the-ground projects, facilitates regional coordination, and informs statewide policy from the local perspective.

          works to protect Oak Creek through stewardship engagement, partnerships with local agencies and interest groups, outreach and education, and scientific monitoring. A watershed is defined as the total area of land that drains into a specific watershed; therefore, litter removal anywhere on the Oak Creek Watershed keeps litter out of Oak Creek! This protects wildlife, habitat, and water quality and encourages others to keep the area clean as well. We find that these cleanups are often a fun team-building activity for groups of coworkers, club members, or any other group of people who are associated but may not know each other well.

          Our Job Development program assists our clients in obtaining basic skills needed for employment, including certifications or credentials, soft skills, and hard skills. Our focus is to provide a safe workplace so they may ease back into the workforce without the stressors of a new work environment. We work in conjunction with their treatment schedules and goals. This allows them time to focus on their recovery and address core issues that can subconsciously lead to self-destruction. This program fosters a supportive environment that empowers the client to look towards a career that gives them purpose and meaning in their lives.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          's mission is to provide safety, services, and comfort to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.  The volunteer opportunities are with the well-known Twice Nice Thriftiques.  Store staff and volunteers promote the Sanctuary’s mission, encourage Arizona tax credit donations, spread the news about public events, and provide a safe place for survivors of domestic and sexual violence to find immediate refuge and support, and provide Sanctuary clients a great shopping experience  (at no cost to them). These Thriftiques are the “Gold Standard” of thrift stores. Nothing goes on the floor without being cleaned, steamed, polished, spruced up, and attractively displayed.
