Two-week Urban Farm Manager Intensive
The Urban Farm Manager Intensive is a two-week design internship focused on managing a community-run farm in the urban setting. As we plan and design our "Green City" this is a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience at a unique, dynamic urban permaculture project. This intensive design internship runs for ten days over two weeks. It is best suited for self-motivated people who already possess some life experience. As an intern you will be exposed to a great many opportunities to learn. Making the most of these opportunities is critical to your learning success. Showing up early each day and getting involved in urban farm life in our community, rather than being just passive listeners in class, will help ensure you come away with the confidence to subsequently design and implement your own permaculture solutions. It represents a wonderful opportunity for students who are prepared to accept the challenge. Apply now.
Design Internship
One design internship is geared more towards product design students with an interest in designing the overall user experience of visitors and volunteers. The other internship is geared more towards visual communication students with an interest in designing large and small scale information visual graphics to tell the story of the farm and what it does, such as a timeline and an overall graphic that incorporates multiple elements. These internships would be a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience in a unique, dynamic project, as well as a chance to produce portfolio-ready pieces.
