VRLC QT Farm and Garden Assistant
 
 
 
This position is part of the Vermont Rural Learning Collective (VRLC). VRLC is a national service program that places AmeriCorps members at educational non-profit Host Sites in Vermont’s most rural communities. VRLC members support their Host Site’s ability to deliver educational programming and services to rural and underserved learners of all ages by creating and facilitating educational programs on a variety of topics, recruiting and engaging volunteers, assisting with Host Site advertising and marketing, and more. VRLC members will also contribute to their Host Site’s conservation efforts and food security efforts through tasks such as trail maintenance, maintaining community gardens, harvesting crops, and coordinating food drop-offs. VRLC is a learn-by-doing program that supports members in their path to educational and career attainment through personalized direct service experiences and ongoing training, networking, and professional development opportunities offered throughout the service year. Maplehill School and Farm is “A safe, caring, land-based educational community where relationships inspire learning.” Our mission is to provide real-world educational experiences where students and adults gain practical skills and personal successes. Through the acquisition of academic, vocational, and social skills, students are prepared for further education, training, employment, and independent living. Students leave Maplehill School with the strength of character and self-worth that allows them to live socially responsible, positive, productive lives, give to others, and contribute to the health and beauty of their surroundings.
