SUMMER 2022 INTERNSHIPS
CEI is pleased to launch our curated 8-week summer internship programs for high school and college students. The purpose of these internships is to:
  • Provide an immersive experience where participants can explore their relationship with the environment in which we live;
  • Explore essential topics related to social and ecological health from a variety of relevant lenses including food access and civic ecology;
  • Develop transferable skills in the areas of agriculture, ecology, and community development; 
  • Engage in learning and growth while building interpersonal relationships in a team/community-oriented environment; and 
  • Help CEI steward Freetown Farm during our busy and abundant summer months so we can achieve our mission of cultivating communities where people and nature thrive together. 
We are looking for interns that are respectful, enthusiastic, collaborative, have a strong interest in CEI's intersectional areas of work, and are comfortable in a farm environment where they will learn by doing substantial hands-on work. This internship is unpaid. Interns may receive community service hours and letters of recommendation may be written upon completion. High school or college credit can be awarded if your institution supports it. If you have any questions about the program, please reach out to our internship and volunteer coordinator Sophie at volunteer@cei.earth. 

HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - The 8-week program will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from June 28 - August 18. Interns will participate in 5-hour sessions twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10am - 3pm at Freetown Farm, in Columbia, MD. Additional asynchronous activities including videos to watch, readings, and reflective exercises will be provided each week. Applications for the Summer 2022 high school internship program are accepted on a rolling basis and can be completed via this link. 

COLLEGE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - The 8-week program will run from June 1 - July 29 (with a 1-week break July 4th - July 8th). Interns will participate in 5-hour sessions twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays 10am - 3pm at Freetown Farm, in Columbia, MD. Additional asynchronous activities including videos to watch, readings, and reflective exercises will be provided each week. Applications for the Summer 2022 college internship program are accepted on a rolling basis and can be completed via this link.
