Program Details
This role is for someone who wants to learn how to teach regenerative farming and permaculture through hands-on experience and mentorship. You’ll work directly with the course creator, supporting lessons, workshops, and internship programs while gradually taking on teaching responsibilities.
This is not a spectator role—you’ll get dirt under your fingernails on the farm, help prepare teaching modules, and translate practical experience into meaningful lessons. You will gain direct insight into creating a new framework for regenerative farming education and helping shape the next generation of learners.
