Urban Farming in OceansideAt — Botanical Community Development Initiatives
We are looking for positive, self-motivated individuals looking for agricultural training with a community purpose, and in-the-field training on the details of small farm management. There are also opportunities beyond the farm field related to food access, education, and community engagement. Activities will vary based on current needs at the farm and interests of the student. Learning goals and outcomes will be collaboratively set in the beginning of the internship and student will be guided throughout the semester and evaluated based on these. We are open to one-time volunteers and semester long interns. Inerns must commit to be present at and help to facilitate with at least one of our open volunteer opportunities during the week. These occur on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
