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 Kim Jordan at kjordan@phillyorchards.org 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 co-chairs Danie Greenwell (dgreenwell@phillyorchards.org) or Anne Taylor (ataylor@phillyorchards.org for more information).
