Volunteer Opportunities

Get your hands dirty with one of the best volunteer gigs in Chicago! Green City Market relies on our community of volunteers to help make the magic happen at our year-round farmers' markets and events.

Volunteer shifts with Green City Market typically last two to three hours and take place at our farmers’ markets — rain or shine! Green City Market is currently seeking volunteers at our indoor market, GCM Avondale.

Learn more about our current opportunities below. Stay tuned for more information about Outdoor Market volunteer opportunities at West Loop and Lincoln Park!
