The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Kinston, NC, is dedicated to fostering a sustainable and equitable food system by training passionate individuals to become effective educators and advocates. This fellowship, sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage in organic food system education without any tuition costs, ensuring accessibility for all. Over six months, selected fellows immerse themselves in experiential learning at the Allegheny Farm Campus, where they gain hands-on experience in growing and distributing diversified crops, implementing health care education, and developing community gardens. They also enhance food and ecological literacy in schools and support farmers markets, direct-to-consumer sales, and regional food coalitions. Following their training, fellows embark on a Community Action Year, applying their skills in collaboration with local non-profit organizations to promote food assistance and improve community access to healthy food options. Interested candidates should apply by March each year for an enriching experience running from May to October.
