Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Arkansas City, KS, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of leaders who advocate for a just and sustainable food system. This transformative program sponsors, trains, and empowers Fellows to engage in hands-on learning at our Farm Campus, where they explore organic farming practices and foster community food initiatives. By offering this experience at no tuition cost, we ensure accessibility for all passionate individuals. Throughout their six-month immersive training, Fellows engage in a variety of activities, including cultivating diversified crops, conducting health education sessions, and integrating food literacy into local schools. Participants also have the opportunity to support farmers' markets and enhance food access within their communities. Following their training, Fellows embark on a Community Action Year, collaborating with local non-profits to apply their skills and drive impactful change. Applications are welcomed yearly until March, with the fellowship running from May to October.
