Community Service
Clearwater Farm is the #1 provider for La Crosse County!
Whether you need service hours for National Honors Society, Eagle Scouts, church, or court-appointed, we’re the place for you! Clearwater Farm is also the ONLY place where you can get “DOUBLE HOURS” for your hard work! Fulfill your commitment in half the time – only requirement is that you put forth your best efforts and work hard. Duties can vary from animal care to gardening & grounds maintenance (mowing, trimming, weeding etc.).
We also welcome youth organizations, churches, local businesses, schools (public and private), and any other groups interested in supporting our mission.
Please contact Shari Collas at (608) 780-5682 or scollas@clearwaterfarm.org to set up a date and time for your group to volunteer.
Registration is Required!
ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST CALL AHEAD to sign up for a particular date/time.
Please call Shari Collas at (608) 780-5682 or email scollas@clearwaterfarm.org prior to attending.

What to Expect
Work is outdoors and you will get dirty, so please dress accordingly to working at a farm. NO OPEN TOE SHOES will be allowed.
When attending for the first time, please bring a signed copy of our Release and Waiver of Liability form. We also have copies available at the farm. If you are under the age of 18, please have your parent/guardian complete and sign. If an hour log was provided to you by the organization requiring the community service, please bring this log with you, too.
Testimonial
On days that my students work at Clearwater Farm, I have observed improved attendance, behavior and motivation, in addition to reduced anxiety. Students look forward to working at the farm, and they are developing skills and habits that will make them more responsible citizens and more reliable employees in the future.
