Paid Internships

Stratford Ecological Center is a non-profit organic farm and environmental education center located on 236-acres. The property contains a 95-acre State Nature Preserve, buttonbush swamps, a pond, a creek, prairies, a historic cemetery, two greenhouses, and a maple-sugaring house. The farm raises cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and a llama. Schools come from all over central Ohio to visit Stratford. Spring and fall interns lead the children on adventures on the farm and forest, exploring where our food comes from, how all things are interdependent, and practicing an appreciation for the land and all its inhabitants. Summer interns act as teachers for our summer Farm Camps for 3-12 year olds. Interns will gain valuable teaching experience in working with elementary and middle-school aged children. Besides leading on-site field trips, spring and fall interns also teach in-school presentations conducted prior to all field trips. These pre-visits are taught with the aim of introducing key concepts and exciting the children for their upcoming trip. Additionally, all interns tend the childrens garden, help care for the farm animals, prepare educational activities, and help maintain the facility and supplies. Spring internships are 14 weeks long. Summer and fall internships are 10 weeks long. Interns are encouraged to apply for consecutive internships in order to experience the growing season to the extent of their availability. Experience is preferred but not necessary. What is imperative is a love of children and a desire to share ones own passion for the environment with others. The application and full intern description can be found at www.StratfordEcologicalCenter.org. For questions call or email our Education Director, Christa Hein, at (740) 363-2548 or treebeing@aol.com.
