The deadline is coming up for Grow Pittsburgh apprenticeships and internship opportunities for 2013.  This year’s opportunities include apprenticeship positions at both Braddock Farms and the Frick Greenhouse and Shiloh Farm, as well as internships at the Grow Pittsburgh main office in education, marketing and in data assessments.  Links to job descriptions for all of these opportunities can be found on the Join Our Team page.  Read each description carefully as varying skill levels are required based on the role.  Applications are due January 21, 2013.

As interest in food, farming and urban agriculture grows across the United States, it is increasingly important that the next generation of growers and advocates gain more exposure to working in the fields, with communities and also behind the desk, to support local food access.

As a nonprofit organization, Grow Pittsburgh is able to support potential new growers with a seasonal experience on their production sites.  They are also able to offer opportunities on the organizational side, so individuals can get a better sense of what they do behind the scenes.
