Six-month Urban Permaculture Design Intensive at Hayes Valley Farm

The Urban Permaculture Design Intensive at Hayes Valley Farm, facilitated by Jay Rosenberg, offers a six-month curriculum-based program aimed at fast-tracking the development of urban permaculture-based knowledge in a wide range of subjects.  Classes begin on February 19, meeting on Sundays from 12-5pm.

Deeper Dives at Hayes Valley Farm

Each month-long series of classes offers a wonderful opportunity for students interested in Urban Permaculture Design. Classes begin on Mar 4, meeting on Sundays from 12-5pm. For the latest class and course descriptions, please see the listings below.


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.

Social Media Activism Internship

This internship is a 10 hr/week commitment, for a minimum of 12 weeks.  We are looking for someone who is eager to make a difference, using technology to build networks and connections between members of our community.  The internship can be molded to fit whatever aspects you are excited to learn about.

Community Building & Marketing Internship

This internship position is for an active self-starter who wants to learn more about how to use online media as a networking and marketing device.  And someone who wants to sharpen their skills in event planning and marketing. This internship is a 10 hr/week commitment, for a minimum of 12 weeks.
