Fishers Farmers Market
The Fishers Farmers Market at NPD Amp and Saxony needs volunteers for this summer:
- Saturdays, May 7-Sept. 24: 6:30 to 10:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Wednesday, June 1-Sept. 28: 3:30 to 6 p.m. and 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Market volunteers will help with vendor load-in and setting up tents, tables, and signs around the site before the market begins. During market hours, volunteers conduct visitor counts and provide vendor support and customer assistance. At closing, all volunteers help vendors load, tear down, and move market tents, tables, signs, and other equipment and supplies to storage. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Ranked one of the top Farmer’s Markets in the region, the Fishers Farmers Market showcases vendors from Central Indiana who offer fresh produce, baked goods, honey, meats, cheeses, coffee, plants, and much more. Upholding to the strictest of standards, the market is a destination for fresh, local, flavorful foods directly from farmers and producers.

Maker Playground 5th Grade Tour
Would you like an ongoing volunteer opportunity that will foster relationships and connect with the youth of Hamilton Southeastern Schools? The program needs volunteers who are available to assist with fifth-grade tours of the Maker Playground from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Due to the nature of this opportunity, volunteers are asked to commit to at least one day a week through April 18. Tours will not occur during school breaks.
In collaboration with HSE Schools, the Maker Playground is offering an experiential and project-based curriculum for all fifth-grade students.
Modeled after the successful and popular Nature First program at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, the program features study trips to the Maker Playground, where students are immersed in the workshop and work collaboratively to solve real-world problems through making (think bridge building or creating a better mouse trap).
The goal is to bridge the gap between education and industry, where students can begin thinking about how making is part of building their future career.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email Amy Crell at crella@fishers.in.us, or call (317) 670-9437.
