About the Internship

The Goodland Kitchen is hiring a team of interns to help them start the first Community Supported Kitchen on the South Coast. We are offering a 10 week, non-paid internship where participants will learn how the food choices they make on a day-to-day basis affects their local community.  We look for interns who care about the environment, justice, local agriculture, and also want hands-on experience that they can apply to an environmental profession.

Interns will also meet as a group, once per week, with the Community Outreach Coordinator to discuss skills, goals, and topics of interest. Topics will include: Kitchen Skills, Communication / Office Skills, the Santa Barbara County Food Shed, Wild Edibles, Food Preservation (Canning and Pickling), and others. 

This is a non-paid internship. Interns that successfully complete the 10 week program will be given primary consideration when paid positions become available.
