Announcing: 2025 Ecological Design and Living Internships

Are you interested in, as Ghandi best put it, "how to be the change you wish to see in the world"?" Are you curious not only about ecological building, but also what it means to engage in ecological living? Do you love the outdoors, getting your hands dirty, and learning new things while having fun? If you've answered yes to these questions, please consider an Ecological Design and Living Internship with us, from Spring-Fall 2025!
