Earthlands Internship

Join our community of earth people for a season on the land, learning about new ways of life that honor nature, inner and outer.

Earthlands is a program center and a community of Earth stewards that exists to support and promote living and learning in harmony with the earth and all life. All of the programs we host fall within this mission, and are focused on personal growth, sustainability, and social justice. We are a hub for like-minded individuals and networks as approximately a thousand people come through our land each year.
We are situated in rural Petersham, MA and located on approximately 180 acres of meadows and forest. Our center is off-grid and we grow our own vegetables in season. Our operating season is primarily April through October, and our on-site community ranges from 4-10 people during this time. We are seeking interns to join us during this time.

The internship is primarily focused on the day-to-day needs of running a program center.

We are looking for mature, self-directed and passionate people who feel called to support the work we do and spend time living on the land and learning about sustainable culture, from the inside out.
