Maine Local Living School

The Maine Local Living School Apprenticeship is:

• An eight-week immersion in ecological living, permaculture design, and environmental education. 

• A re-skilling opportunity; a place to gain competencies and confidence to power “The Great Turning.” 

• An experience in community living: an opportunity to be part of a web of human and ecological relationships that make life possible. 

• A hands-on practicum for outdoor and place-based educators who wish to use nature-based and subsistence activities as an integrating context for all subjects.

Sponsor an Apprentice! 

This powerful 8-week learning opportunity is equivalent in contact hours to a semester at college or a gap year program but is offered with a sliding scale fee, with scholarships available. Many apprentices have said that this financial accessibility was critical for them to be able to participate.

​​

Currently the Apprenticeship is subsidized through our other programs. Your sponsorship helps us: 

• House and feed apprentices 

• Invest in deepening apprentices' education with supplemental learning opportunities such as: 

  • Field trips to other farms, organizations, and outdoor education centers

  • Service learning opportunities in the local community 

  • Academic resources
