Volunteer Opportunities
Saturdays, May – December
You’re the face of the Friends! Meet and greet market-goers with a smile and help spread the market love by answering questions, giving directions, and selling Market merch
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, Year-round
Come make a real impact on the health of your Rochester neighbors. Working at the Token Exchange Desk, you’ll be in charge of “selling” Market Tokens to SNAP customers that they can then use to put healthy, affordable food on the table.
Thursday Mornings, April – October
Calling all market mavens! Give people, young and old, an up close view of the Rochester Public Market. As a tour leader, you’ll share your love of the Market by providing information on what it’s all about—including its history, environmental consciousness, diversity, and how it serves the community. We provide training materials, and orientation, and use shadowing to get our guides prepared.
(Saturday, April-October)
Help customers get to the market from the Union Street lot and back with their fantastic market finds by driving the market shuttle. It's a great way to help market goers who need a lift and add to the market's sense of community.
Variable Days, Year-round
Spring flower plantings, Holidays at the Market, Artist Row and more—there’s always something to do at the Market. We’re the ones who make sure of that. Come help out with the planning and execution of the amazing events that make the Market great.
Variable Days, Year-round
