The Poughkeepsie Farm Project and the Green Teen Community Gardening Program seek participants for "City Seeds" 2007!
The Poughkeepsie Farm Project (PFP) and Cornell Cooperative Extension's Green Teen Program seek participants for City Seeds, a project which involves youth ages 14-24 in growing food and seeds, participating in workshops on food and farming, and sharing their new knowledge and skills with the communities of Poughkeepsie and Beacon through community events, farmers' market and community supported agriculture (CSA). Educational opportunities for interns include participation in the CRAFT program (the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training), on-farm training, field trips, on-farm education sessions, and access to our library.
We're seeking good-natured interns with an active interest in farming, dependability, ability to work in all weather at physical and sometimes tedious jobs, good communication skills, the ability to take initiative and a desire to be a part of bringing about positive community change. We especially seek young adults based in the cities of Poughkeepsie and Beacon for this project.
