Urban Permaculture Design Internship - Fall / Winter 2012

Written by Jay Rosenberg | 27 August 2012

This curriculum-based, community focused Urban Permaculture Design Internship, facilitated by Jay Rosenberg, is aimed at fast-tracking the development of urban permaculture-based knowledge in a wide range of specific subjects. This is an ideal way to get started on a career as a urban permaculture designer and/or participate in permaculture projects worldwide.

The six-month Design Internship 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 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.

Classes are held at Hayes Valley Farm on the first and third Sundays of the month for six months. Along with 60 hours in the classroom, students will participate in 60 hours of hands-on projects and activities that are designed to enhance the learning experience and tailored for the interest, ability and schedule of the individual.

Urban Permaculture Design Interns help run Volunteer Days at Hayes Valley Farm, and help build Urban Farms in each of the 49 square miles of San Francisco.
