GW Farms is a program that seeks to point resident-turned-farmers to Christ through agriculture. These farmers get real-life employment experience while they learn how a seed turns into something edible through hard work and perseverance. By growing and selling produce, they learn about customer service, the value of community, and life-long skills to take with them when they leave campus.

As the GW Farms Summer Assistant, you will help supervise farmers as needed, report farmer behavior to GW Farms Manager, and support the efficient and therapeutic operation of the farm.
