Apprentice Guide in Training Program:
Apprentice Guides in Training for youth ages 12 to 17 years (Registration Form)
The youth must be registered for the programming in which the Apprentice Guide Training will occur even if the upper age of that program is younger than the Apprentice Guide in Training.
Apprentice Guides in Training will deepen their practical skills while learning how to support younger children as they engage in Wild Rose's land to craft curriculum. They engage in all of the things they likely loved doing at Wild Rose as a young person (forestry-wooding-craft, grass-wool-fiber-craft, farm-to-table, etc.) AND they get to help teach the younger children how to do it too. By teaching the younger ones Apprentice Guides in Training deepen their relationship to their craft and the natural world that makes food, art and craft possible.
To apply please email a scanned hand written letter from your child explaining why they would like to be a Apprentice Guide in Training. If writing is difficult, call/email Elizabeth to arrange a alternative: elizabeth@wildrosefarmnh.org.
