[Plsugs] Internship opportunity

[Tanya Quist]

Accepting Applications for an Internship with a Progressive Farm to School
Program: 

            Livingston, Montana's farm to school program is offering a
unique agricultural education internship for the upcoming growing season
starting in June and running through the end of August. We'll be hiring
college and high school interns to work together to maintain our school
district's growing spaces. The produce grown will be distributed weekly to
our community through Student Farmer Community Supported Agriculture Shares
(8-10 shares for the season). Another portion will be used to supplement
lunches for our K-5 summer school program, LINKS for Learning. 

            Your role as a college intern is to provide guidance to our
students in the garden. You will be asked to develop and teach your own
lesson plans. Throughout the summer you'll work closely with the Farm to
School Coordinator and have access to the Curriculum Director, both of who
are strong believers in place based agricultural education. The goal of our
summer garden program is to better connect our students with their food
system, develop job skills, and understand that agriculture is a viable
career path. 

            Our farm to school program is also working towards turning our
schools into food production sites. Currently we're applying for a number of
grants aiming to create an animal husbandry program. If you have a strong
interest in farm to school we would welcome the input and developmental work
from any of our college interns!

            Please contact Genna Williams, Livingston Farm to School
Coordinator with questions or send a cover letter and resume to
genna.williams at livingston.k12.mt.us to apply.
