Get Involved with Farming & the Environment!
Document Actions
Farming & the Environment is looking to grow its team in 2007 as
we embark on the second successful year of our farmers market, retail,
and farm cooperative programs. We're creating a handful of
internship opportunities for self-motivated individuals who are
passionate about supporting our local farmers and protecting the
environment.
Staff and interns will meet monthly as a group, giving all interns
an opportunity to learn about the various aspects of our organization
and share ideas on how to strengthen our efforts as a team. As a
small non-profit, a unique opportunity exists for the right candidate
to grow into higher levels of responsibility and take on special
projects over time. All interns must make a minimum three month
commitment.
