  • Certificate of completion from Humber College and LAMP CHC
  • Opportunity to apply for paying jobs as Community POD Leaders within South and Central Etobicoke

The Masters Program will take place from March 7 to April 25, 2023

In addition to the Pod Master program, we will also be recruiting volunteers for the “Pod Squads” in April, who will help to care for the South Etobicoke neighbourhood Pods throughout the Spring and Summer. 

If you would like to volunteer with The GARDENS and help maintain some of their Pods, please email gardenslakeshore@gmail.com with the subject “Pod Squad Volunteer”.
