[TheUWfarm] Volunteer & Intern Opportunities at Seattle Tilth

Hey UW Farmers,

As many of you know, the UW Farm has been working with Seattle Tilth on our expansion this year. Tilth is a fantastic local organization working on teaching and growing new farmers/gardeners all over the city. They sent us a big list of volunteer and internship opportunities that are open in the coming months - take a look below to see if anything catches your eye.

Note: We are specifically partnering with Tilth's Seattle Youth Garden Works program, and it would be great to get more youth mentors from the farm participating!
