Available Internships

(Sustainable Agriculture & Rural Development) This internship offers a unique opportunity to combine on-farm learning with participation in the ongoing work of the LCLT’s Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD) program. LCLT’s staff will work with each intern to develop a flexible workplan/learning contract that will take into account each intern’s interests or needs, while meeting LCLT’s program and field/farm work needs.

Hours may vary but internships can involve up to 35 hours/week, between work on local farms, on LCLT projects and in exchange for housing. Housing will be arranged (could range from a room in a family home, to a small cabin, to a tent/tipi campsite) for the length of the internship. Interns will need to provide their own transportation.

Local farming and horticultural opportunities range widely. Examples include: landscaping design and nursery business, salad greens operation, biodynamic farming, winery, market garden, and livestock production.

General responsibilities of interns:

• Begin internship on an agreed upon date and stay with the program for the entire contracted time Commit to a negotiated workplan/learning contract
• Submit a program evaluation at the end of your time with LCLT
• Participate with an attitude of cooperation and willingness to learn
• Adhere to all policies of the LCLT and local laws
