Greetings!

The Food Systems Project, a program of Lansing-based non-profit NorthWest Initiative is seeking interns to work in nutrition education and urban agriculture for the 2019-20 school year.  

Interns will support our programming in four elementary schools around Lansing, as we coordinate and maintain gardens and provide monthly hands-on cooking lessons and weekly after-school programs to the 1000+ students who attend the schools. These positions offer experiential learning opportunities working with diverse populations in gardens and classrooms. The positions are unpaid. 

Youth Nutrition Education Intern – These interns will primarily work in a direct education setting, supporting Kindergarten through Sixth Grade students who participate in our hands-on cooking lessons in classrooms, after-school programs and summer programs.

Urban Agriculture Garden Intern – Garden Interns will work in our four school gardens, supporting the maintenance and management of their production and other garden-related program efforts. This position contains many independently-completed tasks in our gardens, so scheduling is flexible.

Detailed descriptions of the positions can be viewed here. 

To apply for these internship positions, please fill out our application form. 

Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested! Get in touch if you have any questions.

Thank you, 

Stephanie and the Food Systems Project team
