HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Share your passion for food, farming, and the environment! Work outside, eat good food, and learn how to be an eco-super hero!
SENIOR INTERNSHIP/PROJECT: The Kayam Spring Internship occurs each spring during April and May (dependent on individual high school schedules). Interns gain valuable hands-on skills working in three main areas: sustainable agriculture, trail & ecology, and green building & design. In addition to these work areas, interns are trained in experiential environmental education curriculum taught at Kayam, and will help lead programs with groups on the farm. When our interns leave, they will hold valuable skills, both as real land-stewards and as environmental educators. Click here for more information.
