I want to get involved in agroforestry research, and the best way I can think of is to volunteer at a working agroforestry farm. Can anyone share any contacts of farms or research sites that would accept volunteers?

could be one place to start by contacting them.
Another is CATIE in Costa Rica

Good luck.
Ask ICRAF in Peru (contact Dr Jon Cornelius) or CATIE in Costa Rica (contact Dr John Beer).
I will recommend CATIE in Costa Rica, projects are available in most of latin america. Catie has been a pioneer in agroforestry systems for many years. I got a master in tropical agroforestry at CATIE working in Copan, Honduras. Spanish will be a good tool but not necessary you can contact them in English also.
Another organization to try is the Utopia project, based in Colombia.
It is an innovative educational program that trains young people in sustainable development.
