Green Cambridge manages two pioneering urban farming sites: Hurley Street Neighborhood Farm at 213 Hurley Street, tucked in a residential East Cambridge neighborhood, and the Riverside Community Farm where Memorial Drive meets River Street. Volunteers water, weed, maintain structures, clean up, and do whatever is needed to maintain the beds. Our urban farms are the only ones in Cambridge that are devoted to community participatory learning and growing. East End House, a historic settlement house, receives weekly vegetables to distribute free to the community from our Hurley St. Urban Farm. Green Cambridge's team within the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program, who are ages 14–18, makes a weekly visit to learn and participate in the community of growers as well.

Volunteer work is typically self-directed based on instructions left at the site. Shifts are available every day, and there is no need to sign up in advance unless you intend to volunteer as a large group. All ages are welcome. Check the work schedule posted on the Green Cambridge website (at the start of the growing season), and just show up!
