New Roots Internship

The Big Garden offers a 12-week paid summer internship for adults (19+) interested in what it means to feed community. With mentorship and support, interns join our education team in uprooting racism and cultivating sovereignty in our food system through intentional and interdisciplinary education.

New Roots Interns spend 70% of their time educating youth and adults in the Grow-Your-Own summer garden program, and 30% of their time growing, processing, and distributing produce to feed fellow community members.

Interns receive hands-on training in how to provide quality programming, as well as gain skills and understanding in gardening, food systems, food preservation, cooking, seed saving, and more.

The internship runs from May 6th and end August 2nd.
