CommunityGrows is hiring teens for the BEETS (Band of Environmentally-Educated and Employable Teens) internship. Teens learn how to grow healthy food, maintain our community gardens, work with a diverse group of peers, teach kids, learn critical workforce readiness skills, and positively impact the community. This fall, our interns will learn about food justice and the healing properties of food and plants. We hope that our interns learn how to steward themselves through making healthy choices and developing professional skills while learning how to steward their community. Interns earn up to $1, 074 in stipends (depending on hours worked & attendance).
