I am writing you regarding a terrific summer internship opportunity for youth. 

The program, called Farm & Field, is an internship program designed to provide youth, ages 14-17, with environmental leadership and job skills training through experience in organic farming, natural areas restoration, community outreach, and teaching.  In addition to the skills youth gain through the internship, they recieve a stipend, paid out in three monthly checks over the summer.

Farm & Field takes place at Troy Gardens, a 26-acre open area (located on Madison's Northside) consisting of an organic farm, a tallgrass prairie, woodland and wildlife corridors, community gardens, and an educational children's garden.

I have attached a copy of the internship application, which also includes information about the program.   Please distribute applications to interested youth.  We are also happy to provide you with hard copies of the application if necessary.  If you would like a Farm & Field flier to post, please contact me and I will send you a copy.

Please also contact me if you have any questions about the program or if you would like to schedule a presentation for a group of interested teens at your center, school, or organization. 

Thank you for helping to spread the word about this internship!

Warm regards,
