EDUCATION/PROGRAM INTERN

Description: Massaro Community Farm is building its roster of farm-based programming, which currently includes farm field trips, a summer camp, and farm workshops for youth and adults. The education intern would work closely with the farm’s program coordinator to research, develop and organize educational materials. Interns will also be invited to Education Committee meetings and to participate in farm events. This is a 10-12 week internship, start and end times somewhat flexible, and can run during Spring, Summer or Fall. Education interns have the added potential to be hired on a per diem basis to work at the farm for its farm based educational activities, such as field trips, throughout the season.

Responsibilities can include:

• Help develop lesson plans, new offerings and programs both on and off the farm
• Working under a program leader and the farm’s FoodCorps service member to convert activities and lessons into a uniform format, and organize them both electronically and for hands-on use at the farm

• At the option of the intern, participate in farm field trips and other educational activities
• Participating in cooking demonstrations using seasonal farm produce, if there is interest

Requires a self-motivated individual with an interest in education – farm-based education or the environment is even better. Ideal candidates would have an educational background (or at least some experience), and/or an interest in farming or the environment. Familiarity with basic gardening concepts helpful as we incorporate the farm’s Learning Garden into much of our activities. Intern will have access to farm’s office & equipment under the guidance of the farm’s Executive Director. Intern will be expected to provide approximately 5-6 hours each week to this effort.
