Stone Barns Center welcomes interns who are dedicated to our mission to celebrate, teach and advance community-based food production and enjoyment. Interns will focus on one component of Stone Barns Center's work: livestock, four seasons growing, education programs, public programs, or development/nonprofit management.

Internships at Stone Barns Center are unpaid and housing is not provided, but academic credit may be awarded from an intern’s school. Stone Barns Center’s site supervisors schedule weekly meetings with each intern to review the progress of the internship. As part of the internship program, there will be opportunities to interact with other staff and interns at the Center. If requested, site supervisors will provide each intern with a written evaluation that can also be used as a reference at the conclusion of the internship. The minimum age to participate in an internship is sixteen.

Interns benefit from a schedule that is both intensive and consistent. To encourage productive and rewarding internships, Stone Barns Center requires a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week for a period of one to five months. Interns will complete a daily record of their hours in a logbook and will be expected to contact the site supervisor with any schedule changes.

Most Stone Barns Center internships involve strenuous physical labor—e.g., lifting 50+ pounds, using hand and power tools, and exposure to sun and cold.
