Join us! Serve on a POP Committee!

POP is always looking for dedicated volunteers to help select and support orchard planting partners; plan events and do outreach; or assist with fundraising.

ORCHARD COMMITTEE

Coordinated by POP Orchard Director Phil Forsyth, this committee does POP’s core work: Evaluating and coordinating with potential planting partners. Working with community-based groups to plan and plant orchards. Providing long-term follow up for orchard care.

The Orchard Committee consists of staff, board members, and volunteers and meets three or four times a year. Members are expected to come to at least two meetings per year and participate as a liaison for at least one orchard partner. New members are encouraged to partner with more experienced members. Plant knowledge is a plus, but not required. Anyone interested in joining this committee should contact Orchard Director Phil Forsyth: phil@phillyorchards.org

OUTREACH COMMITTEE

POP’s Outreach Committee organizes events, helps with tabling, and produces the newsletter. Contact board member and committee chair Maija Jespersen at maijajespersen@hotmail.com to learn more.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE

Do you know how to write grants or raise funds? POP welcomes experienced fundraisers to help sustain and expand our impacts. Contact board members and Fundraising Committee co-chairs Danie Greenwell (danie56@gmail.com) or Cory (corysuter@gmail.com) for more information.
