The program pairs earth stewards who are looking to expand their knowledge with experienced earth stewards in a hybrid (on-farm and virtual) mentorship program. Calling on the rich knowledge in our growing community, the program provides a space for:</font></p><ul><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">Self-directed learning on agriculture topics supported by skilled growers from throughout the Chicago region</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">Hands-on workshops on key topics relating to growing in Chicago</font></li><li style="margin-left:15px"><font color="#000000">Building a web of interconnected land stewards in the Chicago region</font></li></ul><p><font color="#000000">AUA recognizes that transforming our food future requires us to think critically about the ways we engage with labor and compensation practices. For this reason, both mentors and mentees are supported financially for their time, commitment, and labor throughout the duration of the program.<b> <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JW4jg2AJbHqbq5IGhC3HxPhu79bgq454P4vv_l2bPPY/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Learn more about the program here.</a></b></font></p><p><font color="#000000"><b>Mentors can apply <a href="https://forms.gle/bRqUdFZseZuqFQKj6" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</b></font></p><p><font color="#000000"><b>Mentees can apply <a href="https://forms.gle/zha2VQpqRzwEDHQt8" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</b></font></p><p><font color="#000000">Applications are due May 23rd, 2025 at 3pm Central Time.
