Make an Impact. Build a Career That Matters.

• Working on a functioning farm
• Hiking at Oak Openings
• Gardening, horticulture, and grounds work
• Creative projects in art and culinary programs
If you’re exploring careers in social services, education, healthcare, psychology, or disability support, this role gives you hands-on experience that matters.
Paid training is provided. No background in this field required, all empathy and support!
