Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Guidestone!
Through knowledge-sharing with staff and other volunteers, and working on place-based projects, Guidestone volunteers have the opportunity to develop a deeper connection to Salida, strengthen the local food economy, and grow the next generation of farmers and ranchers. Whether running the cider press at the Pumpkin Patch Festival, leading tours of the Historic Hutchinson Homestead and Learning Center, or harvesting at the Community & School Farm, volunteers provide support to our community!
To learn more about any of the opportunities below, or discuss other ways you can provide support, please email info@guidestonecolorado.org or call 719-239-0955.
