year’s theme is to “Imagine What’s Possible” when we harness our creativity
and envision the abundant future of green and growing schools and
communities.* The summit is open to all gardening enthusiasts, whether they

introduced
the phrase "moving at the speed of trust." With this in mind, AUA decided
to postpone launching our signature Farmer to Farmer Mentorship Program

increase capacity, and incorporate feedback from the last three years. We
thank all the amazing growers in the last three years who have participated
as mentors and mentees! Once the program relaunches we will announce it via
our newsletter and social media platforms so make sure you are following us.*

*AUA 2022 Annual Report*
"In 2022, through intentional introspection and internal restructuring, we
made the shift to operate as a BIPOC-led organization with more than two
thirds of our staff and board being growers as well. We are proud to
reflect back the identities of the farmers and earth stewards who are at
the forefront of this work. This change in the organization enriched our
praxis of horizontal and consensus-based leadership, accountability, and
transparency with each other and our communities."

For those of you not familiar with Elawa Farm, it’s a historic, non-profit
farm located in Lake Forest, Illinois.  Elawa Farm Foundation’s mission is
to steward a historic farm that enriches greater Lake County as a center
for experiential learning to broaden access to education, nutritious food,
and our local food system. We gather community through food and agriculture
with a sustainable farm, weekly market, learning kitchen, and educational
programming for youth and adults.

The roles we’ll be filling include:

   - Garden Apprentice
   - Garden Intern
   - Market Assistant
   - Education Intern
   - Event Attendant
