Solid Ground Volunteers

The Volunteer Center: Seeking a Summer Intern for a very cool program. Apple Corps is a team of national service members that fights the causes of obesity, hunger and malnutrition in our communities. We work closely with our partner schools in the Seattle public schools to develop school gardens. During the school year we use the gardens to promote the healthy eating and gardening as a physical activity. Unfortunately the maintenance of the school gardens during the summer is usually neglected. Without regular maintenance the gardens become over grown with weeds and produce few vegetables.  We are looking for an intern to assist our Apple Corps members with the maintenance and upkeep of these gardens through the summer. This includes: weeding, harvesting, watering. We will donate the fresh produce from these gardens to food banks to support the needs of local communities.
