Gardens, Food, and Wellness Education at High Rocks

High Rocks began in 1996 as a residential summer camp on a mountainside to help girls prepare for high school with a positive outlook about themselves and their abilities. Over 20 years later, we work not only with girls at summer camp, but throughout the year with students and volunteers of all ages, at our 200 acres on the mountain and in town with partner organizations, with the aim of making our communities stronger, richer, more vibrant places to work and live for all of us.

Gardens, Food, and Wellness Education AmeriCorps members at High Rocks will support our gardens, high tunnels, and direct local foods programming for the community and young people. This person will be growing healthy, fresh food for our programs for young people. They will also be serving directly with young people, helping them learn to grow, market, and sell healthy food. They will help with our Grow Appalachia program, where community members learn about healthy growing and cooking. Experience growing food a plus, not a must. Passion for young people and for growing and feeding people healthy and delicious food required.
