Extension summer internships available

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Each summer, University of Minnesota Extension welcomes undergraduate students interested in crops, livestock, horticulture, small farms/local foods, natural resources or commu- nicating science to gain experience through internships.

Now in its 34th year, the Marbleseed Organic Farming Conference, formerly known as the MOSES Conference, draws a diverse audience of farmers, homesteaders and food system professionals for three days of educational programming on a wide range of food and farming topics.

The three main components of the internship are completing Extension educator-selected project(s); networking with other interns, educators and specialists in Extension; and learning about the people who work together to achieve Extension’s mission.

The internships are held each summer for 10 to 12 weeks. Applications are now open for Summer 2023. Internships are full time, but there is flexibility based on interns’ school schedules.
