You can be an intern, refer an intern, or help an intern. Let us know.
Myroslav Bur was our first Ukranian intern in 2022. He’s been back twice since and now is teaching other interns — how to drive the old Ford 150 truck, which garden tools to use for hoeing or pruning, where you can best spot a young Bald Eagle or a Red-tailed Hawk. In addition to learning farm skills, students get to explore the estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay in kayaks, visit museums in Washington, D.C., and enjoy local church services and Point Lookout State Park. The SlackWorks program is designed for students 16-20 years old but doesn’t exclude other ages, so inquire if you or someone you know is interested!
The students pictured above are on a day off in Washington D.C. We had just finished our annual Thanksgiving Dinner at Woodlawn Farm.
Giving thanks for shelter and the bounty of our country is an annual time of happiness for all of us as Americans. We learned fast that this is an easily adopted tradition by our Ukranian interns as well!
