Hi Volunteer Enthusiast!

If you’re interested in composting, gardening, or simply want to get your hands dirty with some friends, join the Sustainable Flatbush Compost Team!

We are getting ready to kick off Compost Open Hours at the Flatbush Reformed Church on Saturdays starting this Saturday February 11th, and we are looking for volunteers (no compost experience necessary) to assist with one shift per month, hosting open hours and engaging with neighbors and the community.

Join the Sustainable Flatbush Compost Crew!

Join Us!

Compost volunteers help maintain the compost bins and keep track of organic materials collected, and distribute finished compost on the property site, the native plant streetscape, and the edible garden.

Time: 2hrs /1 shift per month (more if you choose, composting can be addictive!)

When: Saturdays from 11am – 1pm
(Choose a shift – 1st Saturdays, 2nd Saturdays, 3rd Saturdays etc.)

Where: At the Flatbush Reformed Church 890 Flatbush Avenue [map]
The compost site is on the East 21st Street side of the property, between Kenmore Terrace and Church Avenue

Training and support: Resources and training will be provided during open hours on your shift working alongside Master Composters Anne Pope, Kady Ferguson and other seasoned composters. Work with other members with interest and experience in urban agriculture, community gardening and sustainability.
