The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Keauhou, HI, is dedicated to cultivating leaders who advocate for a food system that prioritizes social, environmental, and economic justice. This transformative program empowers participants through a comprehensive training experience that includes organic food system education and hands-on learning at our partner locations. Fellows actively engage in community-based initiatives such as growing and distributing diverse crops, fostering educational programs that link food and health, maintaining vibrant community gardens, and mentoring future advocates. This fellowship is tuition-free, ensuring that access to this essential education is available to all. The journey begins with a six-month immersive residency at the Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year where Fellows implement their skills alongside regional non-profit organizations, making a tangible impact on local food systems and health outcomes. Applications for the fellowship open annually and must be submitted by March for participation in the May to October cycle.
