Testimonials from past Members:
“I wouldn’t have fallen in love with Vermont and started my career here if it weren’t for my year of service at GMFTS. It helped me build skills and cultivate relationships that translated into other career opportunities.”
“GMFTS provided me with the valuable opportunity of practicing my skills as an educator, and as a leader working in a small team of educators. GMFTS helped me gain confidence as a food and garden educator, and inspired me to get my Master’s in Education.”
“Joining GMFTS allowed me to explore my interests more deeply and helped guide me in learning which corner of the food systems I wanted to be more involved in.”
“The position helped to solidify my love of the outdoors, growing food, and educating others on where their food comes from and how to prepare it. My work at GMFTS allowed me to really cultivate my own knowledge of food systems which helped me to realize that I love non-traditional education.”
