Stockton, CA
Puentes is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide equal access to healthy, high-quality, safe and affordable food for people in all communities. Puentes implements this mission by providing hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration, outreach and technical assistance through the development of Community Food Systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a sustainable manner. The chosen interns will assist Puentes in all aspects of community food system development, urban agriculture, small farmer outreach, and youth development through innovative sustainable approaches. Interns work 3-5 days per week, averaging 20-40 hours of work per week. It is intensive job training experience and requires at least an 6 month commitment.
All interns must have a positive attitude, an ability to receive constructive criticism, and a strong work ethic. Interns will receive supervision, intensive hands-on training, and skill sets acquisition with the opportunity to conduct and implement independent projects.
