If you love getting your hands dirty and growing food for others, this Urban Farming Internship is just for you!
At this Urban Farming Internship, you'll be part of a grassroots organization that creates and maintains organic food gardens at homes, schools, and communities around Cape Town. As an intern on this program, you'll mostly be assisting with planting, harvesting and maintaining the gardens at schools. Other than overseeing these day-to-day operations, you’ll have the freedom to take initiative and work on other projects that allow you to explore all aspects of urban farming. Moreover, the community gardens you’ll be working at serve a large educational purpose so you’ll be able to assist with hosting workshops to educate people about urban farming and its benefits.
