The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship in Elizabeth, WV, is dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders in sustainable agriculture and community food systems. Sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, this fellowship provides tuition-free training, ensuring that the program is accessible to all aspiring advocates for an equitable food system. Over six months, selected Fellows engage in hands-on learning at the Allegheny Farm, gaining expertise in organic farming practices, food distribution, and educational outreach. They collaborate with local partners to grow and distribute diverse crops, implement health-focused educational sessions, maintain community gardens, and promote food and ecological literacy in schools. Following their intensive training, Fellows spend a Community Action Year applying their skills with regional non-profits, further enhancing food access and fostering community resilience. Applications are open until March each year, with the fellowship running from May to October.
