The South Shore YMCA Family Farm was created in 2018 with the purpose of giving back to the community through educational opportunities for children and families, donation of fresh produce to local food pantries, and responsible stewardship of the land to protect water resources, native plant species, and wildlife. Located on one acre of previously vacant land, the farm consists of a production field, a children’s learning garden, and raised beds. Organic, sustainable, and regenerative practices are used wherever possible. The farm hosts a variety of educational programs, including frequent interaction with the Hanover Early Learning Center daycare and preschool, summer camps, and special programs for the public.
The internship start date, schedule, and duration can be flexible. The intern will discuss specific internship goals with the internship supervisor to help meet the needs of both the intern and the organization. This position was submitted by AFE alum Nina Rogowsky (’15).
