Urban Farm Manager Intensive

Hayes Valley Farm is a dynamic setting, drawing folks in with our volunteer days, classes and events. We are a place for farming, growing food, and growing community, combining both hands-on farming with 21st century community building strategies. 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 six-day/week intensive design internship runs for 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.

This internship is a 8 hours/day, for 10 days over 2 weeks.
