FoodWorks Internship Program
Middlebury FoodWorks was established in 2012 as an innovative summer leadership program combining academic and experiential learning in food systems. The internship opportunities enhance student learning and engagement in food studies. Middlebury, VT offers dynamic opportunities to engage in unique food systems.
Students
will work 30 hours a week in a job focused on different aspects of the local
food system. The program offers an internship that pays a stipend of $2400 for
the 8 week program, unless other arrangements have been made with the employer.
There will be four field trips engaging with sustainable agriculture; community
and economic development; nutrition and health; and other topics such as food
security and justice, policy, culture and traditions. This will be determined
by the students and FoodWorks director based on interest of the group.
