The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, based in Bunker Hill, WV, is dedicated to empowering individuals to champion a just and sustainable food system. This program, offered by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, provides comprehensive training for Fellows who aim to inspire positive change within their communities. Participants engage in organic food system education and can collaborate on initiatives like growing and distributing diverse crops, enhancing educational health programs, maintaining community gardens, and integrating food literacy into schools. By building partnerships with local non-profits, Fellows apply their skills during a six-month residential study at AMI’s Allegheny Farm Campus, followed by a Community Action Year focused on real-world impact. This tuition-free Fellowship promotes accessibility, ensuring that aspiring advocates have the opportunity to make a difference in food justice and community health efforts. Applications are accepted until March each year, with immersion experiences typically occurring from May to October.
