Farm & Food Systems Fellowship

The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Cut Off, LA, empowers aspiring educators and advocates to foster a food system grounded in social, environmental, and economic justice. Through a dynamic six-month program at the Allegheny Farm Campus, selected Fellows engage in hands-on learning, focusing on organic agriculture while actively participating in community-driven food initiatives. They gain practical experience in growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing educational health sessions, and maintaining gardens in schools and communities. This fellowship promotes accessibility by waiving tuition fees, ensuring that more individuals can contribute to advancing food equity. Following their immersive training, Fellows embark on a Community Action Year, partnering with local non-profits to champion food accessibility and sustainability. Applications are accepted annually until March, with the fellowship experience typically running from May to October.
