Event Details
& Weaver's Way Coop
Weavers Way Co-op has an intensive urban farm located on 1.5 acres in Awbury Arboretum in East Germantown. The farm exists to serve as a model of local, sustainable food production in an urban setting. Its goal is to produce healthy and unique produce for Weavers Way Co-op and other outlets in Philadelphia while teaching the community about urban farming. Through its educational programs, the farm helps to increase access and exposure to healthy vegetables in an urban environment while demonstrating the virtues of a close relationship with the land.
Year-round, farm-based lessons focus on scientific inquiry, the humanities, nutrition education, and more, using experiential and creative learning. Many programs take place on the 1/4 acre children’s garden, where students participate in all aspects of farming.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to work on the following tasks:
Ø Planting (seeding or transplants)
Ø Bed forming (digging, removing rocks and debris and raking)
Ø Bed cultivation (putting down plastic mulch and irrigation lines, adding compost to the beds)
Ø Mulching (either leaves or moving compost)
Ø Clearing and pruning and some weeding
We encourage volunteers to bring a sun hat, sun screen, full water bottles, snacks, lunch, and something to cover up with. If you have a pair of gloves you like using please bring those too, if not Weaver's Way will have a few pairs on site.

Hosted By
Global Citizen & MLK365
Global Citizen is non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement, community volunteering, civic responsibility and sustained active citizenship among diverse groups, particularly young people.
Our issues of focus include poverty, homelessness, at-risk youth, education, public health, digital inclusion, energy and the environment. Global Citizen is a weaver of community webs, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds. We work to build diverse partnerships through volunteer service, thus realizing how much more we have in common than our differences.
Global Citizen was founded by Todd Bernstein, who helped Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis create the National Martin Luther King Day of Service in 1994. Bernstein started the first local King Day of Service in Philadelphia in 1996.
MLK365 is a year-round program that promotes sustainable civic engagement and volunteer opportunities.
The goal of MLK365 is to ensure that Dr. King's legacy and principles are embraced throughout the entire year. The initiative emphasizes Dr. King's legacy of nonviolence, social justice, equality and excellence.
MLK365 serves as a year-round clearing house for continuing service opportunities, as well as supporting and designing volunteer programs for its partners.
