The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Waycross, GA is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of advocates for a food system grounded in social, environmental, and economic justice. This transformative program sponsors and empowers Fellows through hands-on education in organic farming and food systems, ensuring accessibility by not charging tuition. Participants engage in crucial activities such as growing and distributing diverse crops, implementing community health education sessions, and fostering school gardens that cultivate food and ecological literacy. Through experiential training at AMI’s Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year, Fellows take their skills to regional non-profit organizations, contributing to farmers markets, enhancing distribution channels for healthy foods, and supporting local food coalitions. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the fellowship experience running from May to October.
