Our two-unit winter quarter training course (P/N) prepares you to work directly with children and youth in garden and farm settings. Through hands-on work in the Ecological Garden, the course gives you the ecological understanding and teaching skills to guide others in culturally responsive experiential education, inspiring wonder and curiosity about food, soil, seeds, plants and climate. In spring quarter you will lead hands-on activities for elementary school students who visit campus with the Kids in the Garden program.
You can earn one, two, or three internship units leading field trips during spring quarter.
No prerequisites. The class attracts students from a wide variety of majors and experience levels. The course is taught by Student Farm Staff with help from former students, other faculty, and you, the current year’s participants.
