Work with us in the summer as our Power of Produce Kids Club intern!

An intern in this program will take full initiative by planning activities and taste tests (if more than 1 intern this will be a collaborative effort) and executing the program at Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday Lexington Farmers Markets.
