Serving in Ashland, OR at Southern Oregon University (SOU), the Farm Mentor is a vital part of the Farm’s mission to inspire a generation of ecologically committed leaders who live and work sustainably in community and on the land. The Farm Mentor will: 1. find and mentor SOU students and Jackson County community members who will profit from spending quality time on the Farm; 2. advance these relationships to bring benefit to the Farm’s mission and advance the mentee’s goals; 3. support mentees in two areas: build practical skills (farming, beekeeping, vineyard management, orchard management, nutrition, cooking, business management, food security, career development in agriculture); and build healthy resilience (independence, self-reliance, creativity, problem solving, decisions with consequences, leadership, nature and horticultural therapy, finding purpose and hope, building relationships, engagement, empathy). Targeted mentees: SOU counseling services; SOU addiction recovery program; SOU Veterans Association; SOU multicultural center; SOU community food bank; Jackson County mental health and public schools.
