Allegheny Mountain School Fellowship

The funded 18-month Fellowship prepares and empowers individuals to become teachers and ambassadors for a more vibrant and accessible local food system. In the first six months of the program (Phase I), Fellows study food system issues and opportunities and gain hands-on experience on a diversified farm. Over the course of the next year (Phase II), Fellows apply their training as they work with service organizations on community projects designed to build healthy communities through food and education. Fellows receive a $1,000 stipend upon the successful completion of Phase I and an annual stipend of $18,000 (less payroll taxes) during Phase II.
