GROW Internship 2010

The GROW internships are for enthusiastic, dedicated youth alums of the Youth Growers program to dive into our community food work.  Through the internship, youth will work together and with a range of Cultivating Community staff to take on projects in farming, teaching others, and marketing small enterprises at new farmers' markets.  Youth will have the opportunity to explore farming, community building, teaching and sharing experiences with other youth, and how to run a small business, through a spring and summer of intensive, hands-on work. Applications for 2010 closed in March.
