Meet The Summer 2026 Youth Intern Team

We’re incredibly excited to welcome five new teammates to our summer youth internship team! The six-week internship experience blends hands-on work at the Urban Farm at Enston Home and partner school sites with life skills workshops, farm field trips, and running our weekly Farm Stand.

We hope you’ll take the chance to learn a bit more about this summer’s team and come say hello at one of our upcoming Farm Stands!

Without further ado, meet the team…
