Newton Community Farm- Summer Internship

Applications are now open for our Summer High School Field Crew Internship Program. Our high school field interns are a crucial part of our field crew during the summer. Join us for hands-on learning about how we grow our vegetables. This unpaid internship is a great chance for you to get hands-on experience working on a busy farm. The internship is open to high school students (ages 14 to 18). Our farm is small, which means we use every bit of space to grow veggies, and most of the work is done by hand. It’s a great way to learn about farming while getting a feel for what it’s like to work on a real farm. High School Internship Sign-up — Newton Community Farm
