The ideal volunteer tutor is someone seeking to make a one-year commitment of two hours per week to help someone else make the change of a lifetime. For our volunteer tutors, an education background is helpful, but not necessary. The most important qualities are patience, an open mind, and resourcefulness. Tutors also need to be non-judgmental and sensitive to cultural differences. A GED or high school diploma is required. Ideal tutors enjoy seeing concrete outcomes from their efforts and sharing in the life-changing successes of others. See our full tutor position description here.
Our friends over at The Haunted Trail (located at the Adventure Center of Asheville) are looking for volunteers!
From the fine folks at The Haunted Trail:
“Lookin’ fer somthin outdoorsy ta do this Halloween season?! 
We are lookin’ to recruit a few more volunteers – who are NOT shy! – to act in our brand new scene: a wild western walk through! (Acting spaces are limited and assigned based on level of availability. There are also some non western roles still waiting for the perfect volunteer to find us!!)
Don’t fancy yerself as one of those dramatic type folk?! We would love to have some festival area volunteers as well!
Adult volunteers will receive free beer with their dinner which is provided by our amazing title sponsor Mellow Mushroom!!”
Please email Lauren Rivas if you would like to join in the fun at The Haunted Trail this year!
We are looking for volunteers to help make this year’s Haunted History tours on October 22nd and 23rd a success! Volunteers can play the parts of walking guides, spirits, historians, and greeters, as well as help with setup and decoration. Volunteers do not need to be available both the 22nd and 23rd to participate- even one day is helpful!
The Greenville-centric story opens on Halloween night. While most families make their rounds through the well-known neighborhoods, a handful of kids break off from the group. Hoping to reveal an unspoken Greenville secret, they head to an abandoned mansion along the Reedy River. They knock on the door, and after no answer, a brave little girl says “Let’s go!” and pushes it open.
Lightning flashes to reveal a silhouette of a couple who dance a pas de deux to a string quartet medley of several Michael Jackson-inspired tunes. Ghosts creep out of every crevice but will not lunge into the audience at the matinee performance. Startling sound effects will also be kept to a minimum during the matinee performance.
Music By Michael Jackson and Choreography by Hernan Justo.

Looking to get involved, stay active, and meet some new friends? Sand Hill Community Garden workdays take place on Wednesdays (6-8 p.m.) and Saturdays (10 a.m.-noon) from Feb. 27-Oct. 30, 2021, at Buncombe County Sports Park. The garden is located on 16 Apac Dr. in West Asheville/Enka-Candler.
Join friends and neighbors as they come together on common ground to raise fresh, organic vegetables and fruits for the Enka community.
Expect to wear a mask and maintain social distance throughout. Tools and hand sanitizer are available, but any gloves, loppers, pruners, or gardening tools you can bring will decrease the amount of contact between volunteers. Please wear work clothes to get dirty and closed-toe shoes. Sunscreen, water, and a hat are also handy items to have on hand.
Sand Hill Community Garden has been growing fresh produce since 2011 and raised over 1,200 lbs. of organic produce last year.
NOTE: Community workdays are weather dependent. Please join the community garden email list (send your info to [email protected]) to stay up on workday tasks and other garden news.

Hush Hush is back 10/29 for a Halloween masquerade that will send you into euphoric bliss. Based on the 1926 novella ‘Traumnovelle’ meaning 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, Eyes Wide Shut tells the tale of a night-long erotic adventure—we can’t wait to bring you an evening of mystery, ethereal vibes, sexy cocktails and (of course) an unforgettable dance party.
Masks and proof of vaxxx required. This is a costume party so dress to kill.
