Community Ecology Institute Internships (Green Farmacy Garden & Freetown Farm)

https://www.communityecologyinstitute.org/

Our programs are rooted at Freetown Farm in Columbia, Green Farmacy Garden in Fulton, and natural spaces in our community. In the fall of 2020, CEI launched what is now known as our Green SEEDS (Service, Experiential Education, & Design for Sustainability) student internship program. The program mission is to provide experiential education and work experience for high-school, college, and graduate students across a range of social and ecological themes. The goals of the internship program are to:
  • Offer students an opportunity to transform academic and career knowledge and interests into solutions to various community challenges.
  • Connect environmental, agricultural, and community building strategies that contribute to the successful operation of Freetown Farm to academic and career development.
  • Strengthen understanding and respect for personal discovery, connection to nature, food security, and land stewardship.

Interns have done many things -- helped install nourishing gardens in the community, worked with HCPSS Project SEARCH students, saved milkweed seeds from the pollinator garden, cared for the gardens at Freetown Farm, organized clothing swaps, and designed and implemented their plans in the Peace garden.
