There's no question that "green" is the future. To prepare area youth to
enter the burgeoning job market, Sustainable Vocations is offering a
hands-on introduction for ages 15 to 24 to learn "diverse leadership roles
that integrate sustainability into their communities." Students will earn a
Permaculture Design Certification and receive introductions to renewable
energy and green building, with the option of gaining college credits. The
three-week sessions include residential trainings at Quail Springs
Permaculture Farm and field trips to area green industries and businesses.
Applications are now being accepted for the next session, which is August
4-24. Sessions cost $1,500-$2,500 on a sliding scale, including tuition,
meals, and camping. Scholarships are provided for low-income youth. Download
an application at sustainablevocations.org/home/programs. Send applications
and questions to info at quailsprings.org. For more information about Quail
Springs, visit quailsprings.org/index.php.
