The SAP is a hands-on, intensive vocational training for low-income individuals, and provides training through internships and training institutes.

The goals of the SAP are to:

  • introduce entrepreneurial opportunities in sustainable agriculture
  • provide classroom education and hands-on training about fundamental sustainable agricultural methods
  • engage the local food network
  • teach basic techniques for small-scale food processing (and other agricultural products)
  • educate about and expand access to the local food network through community based agricultural education

Workshops include classroom instruction, field demonstration days and hands-on learning components. Interns will be placed with local sustainable agriculture or horticultural organizations.

To be eligible for this program, participants must:

  • be prepared for manual labor
  • commit to a 3-5 month internship (full- or part-time)
  • be at or below 200% of the poverty level
  • be willing to complete a background check
    be ready to start placement no later than May 10, 2010

There are limited scholarships available for students!
