The Farmlink Project offers a summer internship for college students passionate about
addressing issues in the food system. This 10-week, remote opportunity has three
components: education, experiential learning, and community-building.
Professional Development and Food System Education: Interns will participate in weekly
educational sessions to get diverse perspectives on the food system and learn in a
nontraditional setting. Past sessions have focused topics ranging from policy and
regenerative agriculture to resume development, and have featured guest speakers from
Taylor Farms, Farm Fresh and the USDA.
Direct Impact: Whether communicating with donors as a development intern or contacting
charities as a food program intern, participants will gain “boots on the ground” experience
engaging with various Farmlink stakeholders. See page two for more details on open
positions.
Community-oriented: While this internship is fully remote, The Farmlink Project is a strong,
interconnected community that stretches across the country. Summer interns will have the
chance to meet and learn from full time team members, connect with fellow interns, and
engage with their local community through in-person volunteer days.
Fully Remote Position: Farmlink is a remote organization and our internship is the same. Please make sure you have reliable access to internet during the full ten weeks of this internship. To provide meaningful on-the-ground experience, we facilitate volunteer opportunities for you to engage in your local community.
Eligibility: Our program is designed for students pursuing an undergraduate degree, however, recent graduates and graduate students are welcome to apply. Upperclassman high school students may also apply, however, acceptance is rare.
Compensation: This is a 20 hr per week paid position. Interns are compensated $16/hr across development, food program, and sustainability positions. The program is 10 weeks in length, beginning June 2nd and ending August 8th. If you have questions or concerns about compensation, please don’t
hesitate to reach out.
