Food Justice Internships

Not taking applications at the moment.

Stay tuned for 2026 internships rounds!

In 2026 we will be offering several paid opportunities for young people, and First Nations people, in the City of Darebin. Come and work with an experienced urban farmer and learn how to grow food from seed to harvest and sale, using bio-intensive practices for growing healthy food. 

The programmes focus on practical activities for a productive community garden - creating pathways for a future career in sustainability and agriculture. As a food justice intern, your work will focus on:

• Understanding healthy soil

• Growing from seed and propagating cuttings

• Compost and mulching

• Garden maintenance and pest control

• A range of hands-on skills

• Discussions on food justice and Indigenous plant use

• Commercialisation of an urban farm

• Education and employment pathways

These programs are intended for young people (18-25 years old) experiencing employment or educational challenges, and members of First Nations communities who have an interest in growing food.

Please keep an eye on our socials in 2026 for information about future internship rounds.
