Community Service at the Market
Community service opportunities specifically for high school students who need to complete volunteer hours. We need help setting up and taking down every market day. Carnation Farmers Market operates from 3-7pm each Tuesday in June, July, and August at King County’s Tolt-MacDonald Park. Sign up solo or bring your friends!

Set up = 26 hrs (2 hrs × 13 weeks)
Take down = 13 hrs (1 hr × 13 weeks)
Both shifts = 39 hrs (3 hrs × 13 weeks)
