Seed to Supper Internship

Save to Favorites

NC Seed to Supper (S2S) is a comprehensive beginning gardening course focused on low budget strategies to grow delicious, nutrient-dense food and grow a community of neighborhood gardeners. This program gives novice gardeners the tools they need to connect with like-minded community gardeners and successfully grow a portion of their own food on a limited budget. The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle partners with satellite organizations affiliated with food banks, housing authorities, community centers and other hunger-relief agencies to host S2S.

As a S2S intern, you will help us connect communities of gardeners and empower individuals to take control of their diets and greenspace to grow high quality foods for themselves and their families. The S2S intern will work to help teach courses, organize resources for participants, recruit participants and facilitators, and measure the success of the program through surveys.
