Our mission at Groundwork Somerville is to cultivate the next generation of environmental activists to grow a greener and more equitable Somerville. Through youth empowerment, urban farming, equitable food access, and community engagement, we sow the seeds of a healthy community. This summer, we are offering 2 opportunities to be placed with Groundwork Somerville through the Forest Foundation Summer Fellowship program: Green Team Leader and Farm Hand!
The Green Team (GT) is Groundwork Somerville’s youth employment and development program, which hires roughly 16 high-school students each summer for an educational work experience in urban agriculture and climate justice. The Green Team Leaders (GTLs) work full time, approximately 35 hours per week for 9-10 weeks with the Director of Youth Programs and Engagement to plan and run the 6-week program. All GT staff participate in training to build a cohesive team, learn urban farming skills, and familiarize themselves with GT procedures and workshops. Being a GTL is an opportunity to grow as a youth worker, farmer, facilitator, community change agent, and more. Visit our website to learn more, or contact em@groundworksomerville.org with questions!
South Street Farm is an ¼ acre urban farm within walking distance from Union Square in Somerville. Focusing on culturally relevant produce, educational demonstrations, and pollinator gardens, the farm hosts the community while donating up to 2000 lbs of fresh local produce to the Somerville Mobile Market, Project Soup, and our neighborhood community fridge each season. This summer, we are looking for a Farm Hand who is eager to learn the ropes of urban farming and help facilitate some of the programming hosted on the farm. This position works closely with the Director of Urban Agriculture to plant, harvest, and perform routine maintenance on the urban farm and should feel confident lifting up to 50 lbs and working in all weather conditions. Visit our website to learn more, or contact leah@groundworksomerville.org with questions!
