Aprovecho Internernship Program

Located in Cottage Grove, Ore., the Aprovecho Research Center provides courses designed to teach students about how to create communities that are more sustainable and self-sufficient.

Every summer and fall, groups of up to 14 interns join the 10 staff members of the Aprovecho Research Center for an intensive 10-week learning experience.

Studies focus primarily on Organic Gardening, Sustainable Forestry, and Appropriate Technology with a variety of other classes on sustainable living. All classes consist of lecture and hands-on application and typically run 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Interns live in the strawbale dormitory or camp, and participate in the active daily life of the ecologically-oriented research and education center.

Academic credit through Humboldt State University is currently available for the Appropriate Technology lecture and lab offering at Aprovecho.

Now accepting interns for Summer 2008.
