Our Story
Solidaridad
Solidaridad is an academic year internship for college students, recent graduates, or Dreamers in the North Carolina Triangle area. Participants work in SAF’s office and receive mentorship and training. They are part of a cohort and together they learn about the farmworker justice movement and gain nonprofit leadership skills. Interns support SAF’s mission by conducting presentations, mentoring farmworker youth, creating communication tools, and participating in actions, rallies, and coalition meetings.
ITF Program Assistant
Former interns and fellows are invited to apply for one of two summer positions assisting SAF staff with planning and logistics for the Into the Fields Internship Program including mentoring the 23 college students working with farmworker agencies throughout the Southeast.
Into the Fields
How would you like to spend your summer supporting the people who plant and harvest the fruits and vegetables you eat every day? Through Into the Fields Internship you will support farmworker agencies and organizations and get trained on the issues surrounding farmworkers’ lives and the broader context of the agricultural industry. Each summer, SAF places approximately 25 college students with organizations that serve, organize or advocate for farmworker justice.
