WWOOF-USA Mission Statement WWOOF-USA is part of a worldwide effort to link visitors with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming practices. The WWOOF-USA Multimedia Grant Program, established in 2016, will award one grant to a WWOOF-USA member for a special project that helps to promote our mission through photos and videos.
