Volunteers & Interns

We are seeking hardworking, motivated, independent folks with clear communication skills and an ability to work under pressure to volunteer or intern here at CRMPI.
We are one of the oldest continually operating permaculture facilities in the United States – and we’re continuing to break new ground with the help of our wonderful volunteers and interns!

Volunteers: Volunteers here at CRMPI are typically hosted from a few days up to a month. We will focus on smaller projects and more daily maintenance on site.

If you are interested in volunteering, send an email to jerome@crmpi.org. and please fill out the volunteer application form here!

Interns: Interns at CRMPI are hosted from around a month up to a year. This is a more long term, learning based, integrated approach. We will focus on larger projects and more individual tasks and assignments. If you are interested in an internship please send us your resume and cover letter explaining your motivation and goals to jerome@crmpi.org as well as fill out the intern application form here!

We accept volunteers from April through October.

Work days begin around 9am and end around 5pm.
Breakfast is from 8-9 followed by a morning meeting with the CRMPI farm managers.
Lunch takes place around 1PM.
Dinner is around 5pm.

We share the responsibility of cooking and cleaning here at CRMPI. We love to have lunch together, with a break after, prior to getting back to work. Dinner can be shared with the group or alone if you need some quiet time. We keep meals primarily vegan and gluten free, though encourage you to bring your own food if you have any dietary restrictions or need more to munch on throughout the day!
