Every year, we recruit a selective group of qualified individuals to join our ROOT Fellowship (Running Our Operations Together!). The Farmlink Project connects farms with surplus to food banks to feed people in need, reduce carbon emissions & empower the next generation of changemakers.
Application Open Now!The ROOT Fellowship occurs each academic year and summer. ROOT Fellows are key to the Farmlink Project community and this fellowship is central to our organization’s culture, identity, and work. During their time at Farmlink’s ROOT fellowship, fellows will serve as legitimate contributors within their respective teams while simultaneously becoming empowered to plan for the future of The Farmlink Project and the food/waste space at large. Throughout the fellowship, we will collectively work towards an inclusive, diverse, and solution-oriented internal culture and a hunger-free future. ROOT fellows are the force that runs Farmlink!
Fellowship Closed for the Season.Whether it's helping place food where it is most needed on the deals team or bringing attention to our mission on the media team, all our teams are helping in the fight against food insecurity and food waste.
Connect the billions of pounds of nutritious produce that would otherwise be wasted to support people and our planet.
Address system-level problems through projects, policy, technology, innovation, advocacy and citizen engagement at scale.
Empower innovative student leaders to become lifelong changemakers and pursue impactful careers that matter.
This is an inherently unpaid position. If you are a student, you may be able to receive school credit or financial compensation through your university. If an uncompensated position inhibits you from participating with the Farmlink Project, please contact people@farmlinkproject.org.
The ROOT fellowship is open to everyone!

The ROOT Fellowship requires fellows to commit 10-12 hours a week during the academic year. During the summer, fellows are expected to commit at minimum 10 hours a week (dependent on job description), but anywhere from 20 to 40 hours per week is acceptable and encouraged! We are flexible and committed to working with your schedule :)
