Service and Learning Projects

All volunteers, both members and non-members, are welcome to participate in our one-day or ongoing Service Learning Projects, such as community-based Permaculture work through local nonprofits, schools, places of worship, and parks. Participation in the Introduction to Permaculture workshop or other PRI Cold Climate workshops may be a prerequisite, depending on the site and activity. To fulfill the basic membership work requirement, active members may log volunteer hours by participating in Service Learning Projects.
