The Farm & Food Systems Fellowship, located in Encampment, WY, offers a transformative opportunity for aspiring advocates and educators dedicated to creating a just food system. This unique program, sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Institute, focuses on providing Fellows with practical, hands-on training in organic food systems without tuition costs, ensuring accessibility for all participants. Throughout the six-month experiential residency at the AMI’s Allegheny Farm Campus, Fellows engage in diverse activities such as growing and distributing crops, conducting educational health sessions, and supporting community gardens. They expand their skills in food and ecological literacy while actively participating in farmers markets and collaborative food coalition efforts. Following their residency, Fellows enter a Community Action Year to implement their training in partnership with regional non-profit organizations, reinforcing their commitment to food assistance and community empowerment. Applications are accepted until March each year, with the experience typically running from May to October.
