We are currently hiring youth for the summer season to assist with all aspects of day-to-day farm work, including plant and animal care, farmers markets and sales, and green building and site maintenance. Throughout the season, there will also be many opportunities to engage in community outreach, attend field trips, workshops, and guest speakers, lead volunteer groups, and carry out independent projects. All graduating Green Teens will have the opportunity to apply to stay on as hired part-time instructors after the summer season. Learn more here
Access & Eligibility Notes:
Both of our farms are ramp accessible and are on ground-level.
