Seeking Summer Intern

We are seeking a committed intern to coordinate children’s garden programming for the summer during the off-season for this office position. May-August you will be training along side the current program coordinator, and from August-October you will be running the show. This includes curriculum development, program organization, volunteer training, and garden maintenance. This is a great way to build your experience with garden, environmental, or outdoor education!

Hours: 30/week
Children’s Garden Education Classes are mandatory; other work time will be needed but can be flexible. The flex time still needs to mesh with the schedule of the Garden Program Coordinator, generally falling between 9AM-6PM Monday-Friday.

Your hours would be fewer in the early summer (likely just 2 hours a week) and would transition into more hours for July (approximately 5-10 a week) and a heavier schedule for August and September. August, September, and the first week of October are the months where you will likely be working 30 hours a week.

The following dates are mandatory dates:
Summer Children’s Garden class schedule (training period):
• Thursdays 9:45AM-11:45AM (beginning May 31)
• July 11, 13, 16-18, 30-31, August 1-3, 6-10 9AM-3PM

The following dates will be mandatory if they are accepted by our partners:
September and early October possible Children’s Garden class schedule
• Tuesdays 2:30-5
• Wednesdays 2:30-5:30
• Thursdays 9:45AM-11:45AM
• Fridays 12:30-3:30

Requirements:
• Knowledge and at least one season of experience practicing sustainable agriculture or organic gardening
• 1 year of experience providing activities for or teaching children
• Mandarin, Cantonese, or Korean language skills would be helpful but are not required
• Background check
• Cover letter and resume

Please contact our Program Coordinator with your resume and cover letter.
