On the fields, we are dedicated to donating 100% of the produce grown at our two Clinton NJ area farms with the help of over 5,500 volunteers and a skilled production team.
In addition, America’s Grow-a-Row also provides programs off the fields such as healthy eating lessons, Free Farm Markets, GrowaRow Kids Farm Days, hunger and poverty education, and more! During 2016, we will offer unpaid internship opportunities for individuals interested in working with our nonprofit programming team as well as our production/farming team. Because of our small staffing size and intimate setting, we are willing work with you to create an internship experience that will best further your career goals.
Production/Farm Team Interns will be working alongside a team of highly trained individuals and focusing on the agricultural production side of our organization. This internship will require hands-on individuals who are able to use problem solving skills while helping our farms flourish.

Previous experience working with or volunteering for a nonprofit is desired, but not required.
