Application deadline for 2024 Master Composter training

  • Monday, January 29, 2024, 6:00 AM - 11:45 PM

Help promote responsible composting in Tompkins County as a Master Composter volunteer!

This free training program includes ten 2-hour classes (20 hours) and two field trips. In between weekly classes, trainees spend an additional ~2 hours/week volunteering and working on class projects. After training, Master Composters give back to the community through a variety of outreach activities.

The 2024 Master Composter volunteer training will be held every Thursday evening, 6:00 to 8:00pm, from February 15 to May 2, 2024. To accommodate school breaks, class will not be held on March 28 or April 4. Classes will be held in person unless it becomes necessary to hold a class via Zoom. Unless otherwise noted, in person classes will be held at CCETC, 615 Willow Ave in Ithaca.

In addition to the weekly classes, two field trips will be scheduled during the training period.. Specifics about the volunteer work in between classes (called the "practical internship") can be found in the Volunteer Job Description and will be discussed during applicant interviews.
