Work/Study Internship Trainings 2012

Two, 13-week Training Sessions, With Openings for 3-4 Students in each session…

We have created a Work/Study Internship with our local non-profit, Center for Sustainable Community.

Hayden Wilson (Bill and Becky's son) will be participating in the work/study Program

Both sessions of the three-month-long internship will be hosted in Stelle, a central Illinois community of diverse individuals who share an interest in various aspects of sustainable living. After completing one of these three-month programs, some participants may have an opportunity to extend their experience by mutual agreement.

We will take 3-4 students for each of the two training periods:

April 4 – July 3, 2012
           and 
July 7 – Oct. 6, 2012

Applications for the first session close March 1, 2012.
Applications for the second session close June 1, 2012.

• The Training will also include design and maintenance of organic gardens, the establishment of several food forests and experience in earth-building construction techniques.
• Practical experience in living in community with Stelle residents, other students and visitors who frequent the community.

Participants will learn how to dig and make rain gardens, hugelkulture beds, and swales.
