Our two-unit winter quarter training course prepares you to work directly with children and youth in garden and farm settings. Through hands-on work in the garden, the course gives you the ecological understanding and the teaching skills to guide others in culturally responsive experiential education. In spring quarter you will lead hands-on activities for elementary school students. 

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.
