Get Involved

Support local African immigrants and refugees through volunteering with AARI.

Volunteer Opportunities

Get your hands dirty, make a difference, and support local African farmers. We always need help at our markets and events, and during the growing season, Bami Farm is open to volunteers of all levels of farming experience.
By supporting Bami Farm, you are giving back to a community of African immigrants, refugees, and afro-descendant people focused on bringing health, food, arts, and culture to all of Rhode Island.
