The Intergenerational Landed Learning project is currently seeking individuals with interests and enthusiasm in agriculture, gardening, sustainable food practices, and the environment to share their knowledge and experiences with a community of young people!
Our “Farm Friend” volunteers work in intergenerational teams of one young adult, one elder, and 5-6 elementary school students to sow, grow, and harvest food plants at the UBC farm. As a Farm Friend volunteer, you will be asked to commit 12-15 half-days ( Wednesday or Thursday mornings, approximately every other week) from September 2009 to June 2010 to work with the project. On-call volunteers are also sought to fill in as needed.
Participants enjoy the company of a multi-age group interested in the environment and land-human-food connections while spending time in a wonderful, peaceful urban farm setting. Volunteers are also invited to join in a variety of additional community-based opportunities for learning about land issues and food growing.
“Farm Friends” may be asked to participate in an educational research study that is attached to this project.
