Stellenbeschreibung
MMRF is a research and training center. Visitors come here to attend courses, do personal research, intern with us, or just visit for a day or two. All visitors stay in dorms and eat family-style meals with everyone on the farm.
If you have 2 weeks or more to stay, and are interested in learning experientially about permaculture and sustainable tropical agriculture, you can be an intern. You will be taught about the various systems and activities on the farm, and participate in the day-to-day running of the farm and project. These are the sorts of activities you might expect to join in:
* Reforestation of fire damaged areas
* Gardening
* Agroforestry maintenance and expansion
* Plant trials
* Workshop facilitation
* Food harvesting
* Poultry management
* Post-harvest processing
* Kitchen assistance
* Construction
* Vanilla data collection
If you would like to stay more than one month as an intern, you will still participate in the day to day running of the farm and project, but if you like we can also arrange a personal project with you. This project would take into account both your interests and skills and also the needs of the organization. Once set up, it would be largely self-directed.
Volunteers pay $175 U.S. for the week, or $600 for the month
