Sustainability Internships – Spring & Summer 2008

The following is a list of Sustainability related Internships (in chronological order).  If you are interested in earning academic credit for internship work, please contact me at jgerber@psis.umass.edu and see Internship Information on the expectations and process.  Also, for a list of internships from 2006 go here, 2005, go here, and from 2003- 2004, go here.  Many of these opportunities are available each year, so it is worth checking previous years.   

If you search the web for internships and either environment, sustainability or other related words, you will find several web lists and search engines that may also help.  Here are a few other lists to review:

The Food Project list

ATTRA list

NOFA list

Internships in Canada

Suggestions on Gaining Green Experience

And for an excellent year long apprenticeship program, check out The Farm School (contact me to learn how to get academic credit for this program).

Finally, WWOOF-USA is part of a world-wide effort to link volunteers with organic farmers, promote an educational exchange, and build a global community conscious of ecological farming practices. I have sponsored students to gain academic credit while “woofing”.  To learn more visit their website at: http://www.wwoofusa.org

Also, I maintain a separate list of sustainability jobs, here.

The Poughkeepsie Farm Project seeks farm and program interns for spring of 2009! 

Do you want to be a farmer, sustainable agriculture educator, or community food advocate?  Poughkeepsie Farm Project’s Farming for the City program provides interns with weekly workshop style trainings and field trips, hands on experience growing food and providing education and outreach to the community, and meaningful employment which makes a real difference in the community.  Interns work with PFP staff and members to grow 10 acres of mixed vegetables, operate a CSA, run a farmers market, teach children and teenagers about food and farming, practice and promote seed saving, and lead outreach efforts to increase food access and awareness of food in the City of Poughkeepsie.  Interns also have the opportunity to participate in the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training (CRAFT) program.

 In 2009 we offer four full-season internships, either 7 or 9 month positions.  We also offer three summer fellowships for college students and two junior internship positions for high school students.  There are opportunities to gain a wide range of knowledge and skills through weekly workshops and to contribute to a wide variety of activities at the PFP.  At the same time, interns focus on learning management skills in their area of interest.  Farm interns focus on learning skills necessary in managing a farm (such as tractor work, harvest management, management of CSA and farmers market booth, and business management).  Program interns lead educational activities, manage a seed project and conduct public outreach as well as gaining agricultural skills through hands-on farm work.  Compensation includes a weekly stipend, vegetables, and training. 

 We're seeking dependable and good-natured interns with an active interest in farming, education and access to food; good communication skills; the ability to take initiative and a desire to be a part of bringing about positive community change.  Interested candidates are requested to apply by February 15, 2009; however, the positions will remain open until filled.  For more information, or to receive an application, contact Wendy at wendy@farmproject.org and visit our website at www.farmproject.org

Pioneer Valley Planning Commission Opportunities

 

One thing we really need to do for the 43 communities in the Hampshire
and Hampden counties, and indeed, for the 26 communities in Franklin
county, is to conduct a Greenhouse Gas emissions inventory. 
We have joined ICLEI-Local Governments for sustainability, and we have
their Climate inventory software on a computer here at our office.
If you had a group of students interested in helping us, we could
supervise them in the data collection and analysis process.
Also--we have software to "map" the relationships of the individuals and
organizations and governmental entities working on sustainability issues
ion the Pioneer Valley. We had an intern last year work on "mapping the
network" but he found that it was much more time consuming than he had
anticipated. If you are interested in network mapping, we have
"In-Flow" software, developed by Valdis Krebs, and we could work with
students to map the network.

Apprenticeship Opportunity -We are looking for 6 apprentices for the 2008 growing season.  The positions are intended for those interested in organic farming.  While we enjoy our work we also expect employees to be responsible and hard working.  We encourage apprentices to expand their educational experience by experimenting with their own farm project if they choose.

 

Work expectations - Apprentices will be expected to work 10hrs /day, 5 1/2 days & every third weekend,  lift 50 lb feed bags, be assertive, enthusiastic, work alone or as a team, dress for all weather conditions and have fun while doing their jobs.  The apprentice should commit for a minimum of 14 weeks, preferably the whole season (May 15 thru Oct 31).  The work includes instruction, implementation, feedback and weekly reviews.  Work includes all aspects of growing from seed starts to post harvest handling and sales. 

 

Skills learned – seeding, transplanting, hoeing, weeding, cultivating, using row covers, crop rotation, insect control, greenhouse operations, irrigation, bed preparation, composting, harvesting, bunching, storage, handling, packaging, haying, rotational grazing, egg collection, cleaning and packing, marketing, farmers market, communication with CSA members and personal evaluation.  Special areas of focus are considered upon request.

 

Educational experience - We believe you will learn from experience everything you need to know about operating your own farm.  You must attend and participate in weekly farm meetings.  Interns are encouraged to self direct their own farm project on their time off, with our approval and possible assistance if necessary.   

 

Wages and Housing - Apprentices receive a stipend of $700/month, and on farm shared housing.  You must maintain personal hygiene and neatness in a group living arrangement.  Use of a kitchen, utilities, surplus organic vegetables, flowers, and herbs are also offered.  We also offer a tent site (3 miles offsite) to those that need a little more space from the workplace.  Performance and production based bonuses are given bi-weekly. 

 

Nearby – We are located 5 miles from Smugglers Notch Resort and Jeffersonville with restaurants and pubs.  Local activities range from biking, hiking, boating, fishing, cliff climbing to just enjoying the beautiful Vermont scenery.  Stowe is ½ hr, Burlington is 40 minutes, and Canada is 2 hrs.

An ashram is a place where spiritual seekers join together to study, grow, and excel. Named in honor of the great Sikh guru, Guru Ram Das, the Millis Ashram and Gurdwara are located on an 18-acre property about thirty-five miles southwest of Boston.

There is a community building for yoga, meditation, and Sikh worship. We also have residential apartments, open fields, a Montessori school, and a community garden. 

A small community organic garden project sprung forth last year after several years when the land lay fallow. We are looking to expand the garden size to grow more vegetables, flowers and to re-cultivate the herb garden.  It is our hope to grow enough of our own vegetables to fortify our langar (free meal) program.  Additional goals are to construct a green house, to become certified and to sell to whole foods market in Bellingham Mass which is the next town over. 

Our parent organization is called 3HO, signified by the three H’s, Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization.

The 3HO Foundation is a non-profit organization, founded thirty years ago by Yogi Bhajan. It is dedicated to the excellence of the individual and serves people through the teachings, technology and lifestyle of Kundalini Yoga.  For more info go to: www.kundaliniyogane.com and www.3HO.org .
