Volunteer: Afternoon Goat Care

Those who sign up for this shift will primarily hang out with the goats--either in the barn or in the Capricorn Lounge--and interact with our guests. You'll keep the goats company while educating visitors about the goats' role in our approach to sustainable landscaping. This shift and the 10am to 11:30a shift are most appropriate for volunteers who want to work with the goats but are not quite comfortable walking them, especially by themselves.
