If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do more for Minnetrista,” this is your moment to step up and shine. The Minnetrista Advocate Program is here, and we want you— our valued members—to be part of this meaningful new way to connect with our mission and share the beauty of nature, the richness of art, and the heritage of East Central Indiana. 

As members, you already help sustain Minnetrista’s work through your support. Becoming an Advocate takes that commitment a step further—transforming your passion for this place into action that inspires others. Whether you love exploring our gardens, shopping at The Orchard Shop, visiting the Farmers Market, or just wandering the trails, you already have what it takes to make a difference. 

What Is the Advocate Program? 

It’s a fun, flexible way to support Minnetrista on your own schedule. Each quarter, you’ll be invited to choose a couple of tasks from a short list designed to fit your lifestyle. There’s no pressure—just plenty of opportunities to make a positive impact when it works for you. These easy actions—sharing a social media post, attending an event, or handing out flyers—help us reach more people and grow the community you’re already a part of. 

Why Join? 

Because your voice matters! As a member, you’ve experienced what makes Minnetrista special. As an Advocate, you’ll help others discover it, becoming an ambassador who invites neighbors, friends, and family to experience everything we offer. And yes, your snazzy Minnetrista t-shirt will make it easy to spark conversations wherever you go. 

What You’ll Receive 

When you join, you’ll get a welcome packet (including a free Minnetrista t-shirt!) plus simple, quick tasks that take five minutes or less.
