Walt!

That sounds like an AMAZING internship. I'd love to apply!

12 weeks is longer than I can take away from my enterprise here though...it's busy times for us with expanding our little team, securing a long term contract to manage and develop two islands, build a human resource development consulting and implementation practice, and create an eco-adventure tourism company! :~)

But what you're teaching there is so central to our vision. I'd love to make time to get there. But I may only be able to come for a few weeks, perhaps 3 at most.

Do you offer any such 'combined' internship programs with some remote learning and contributions thrown in?

Anyways, a big *thank you* for posting this internship, and am looking forward to your response :~)

Sustainable Living Internship

Walt said Oct 27, 12:10 PM:

    The Windward Center is offering a series of 12 week sustainable-living, entry-level internships focused on renewable energy, sustainable food production and preservation, cooperative association, and much more.

    Windward is dedicated to the hands-on study and practice of practical, human-scale sustainable technologies in the areas of renewable energy, sustainable construction, animal husbandry and organic gardening within an on-going community context.

    We're practicing traditional arts such as organic gardening and working with wool, but we're also doing serious research on cutting edge systems such as aquaponics–the growing of plants and fish in the same system–and the conversion of forest waste into car fuel.

    We're committed to creating meaningful change, and believe that there's no more radical act than building a working model of a better way, that showing is better than talking, and that building new systems from the ground up is better than trying to make bad systems a little less bad.

    If you've ever dreamed of living with a group of friends who are focused on creating a joyful, sustainable life close to the land–if you're the sort of person who sees the need for a viable alternative to the consumer world, and who is willing to pick up the tools and help build a better way, we'd like to hear from you.
