Tree Assessors and Harvest & Gleaning Leaders are considered core roles, and we expect a consistent commitment throughout the season.

TYPES OF ROLES

To ensure the Fruit Tree Picking and Produce Gleaning runs smoothly, any volunteer can choose from a variety of roles in the harvest and gleaning processes. There is no limit to the number of roles a volunteer can select. Once a general orientation is completed, all volunteers will also be authorized as Fruit Pickers and Market Gleaners. If interested in Employment, please notate interest when submitting application.

Harvest & Gleaning Leaders
(Employed Role)

Play a crucial role in harvest and gleaning operations. They schedule activities, coordinate volunteers, document processes, and participate in picking and gleaning. Also, they coordinate with pantry partners for farmers' market pickup. Additional training required.

Market Gleaner
(Volunteer)

They play a crucial role in our harvest and gleaning operations, making them essential in our Community Sharing Model. Market Gleaners collect the available produce for gleaning, weigh the gleaned produce, and report their findings to the harvest leader. Finally, they assist in distributing it to the local food pantry for pickup.

Fruit Pickers
(Volunteer)

They have the flexibility to choose their preferred time and location to harvest by joining any of the scheduled picks organized by the Harvest Leaders. Those who wish to participate in eight or more outings per season can apply to join a neighborhood team, which gives them priority access to sign up for picks in their community.

Tree Assessors
(Employed Role)

Tree Assessors play a critical role in helping us collect essential information about the trees in their community, ensuring a FruitFull harvest. They also act as the initial point of contact between Fruit Tree Owners and our volunteer team. This role necessitates extra training.
