We have a rolling admission for our program apprenticeships. We are looking for dedicated and motivated individuals who are positive and proactive. Applicants should be computer savvy, responsible, professional, and friendly. Apprenticeships with Marin Organic Programs are unpaid. We require a minimum commitment of one full day in the office per week over three months and a maximum commitment of 40 hours per week over six months. The terms are flexible in order to ensure that apprentices are able to meet their financial needs. To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to info@marinorganic.org. In your cover letter please specify which program you are most interested in learning about and why it is a particular point of interest.
Depending upon the candidate and time availability, each applicant may be asked to complete an “in scope” project that contributes to one of Marin Organic’s programs.

Opportunities to apprentice on Marin Organic Farms vary greatly. The type of farm, size of farm, and season dictate the structure of each apprenticeship. As such, Marin Organic has carefully outlined apprenticeship opportunities on each Producer Member profile. Please carefully read the “Work on the Farm” sections as well as the farm descriptions to find a fit to your interests and needs. To name a few of the variables you will find: some farms offer stipends, some offer housing, and some offer flexible hours. If you are simply interested in spending time on a farm, please consider Gleaning food with us or attending a Farm Tour. To apply, please contact the farm directly. Sending an email with a follow-up phone call is always a good option. Farmers are typically outside on their farms most of the time, please keep that in mind and apply early in the growing season to be sure you have had ample time to be in communication. The following Marin Organic Farms offer Apprenticeships: Allstar Organics For further assistance, please contact our Member Communications Manager at 415.663.9667.
