About Philo Ridge Farm
Philo Ridge Farm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) working demonstration farm located in Vermont's Champlain Valley. Using innovative and ecologically sustainable practices, we steward over 500 acres of pastureland, forests, and diversified produce gardens. We rotationally graze heritage breed livestock and cultivate certified organic fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Our mission is to promote organic regenerative agriculture through hands-on research, education, and community engagement. As a nonprofit living laboratory, we provide farmers, students, and the public with opportunities to explore sustainable farming practices. Through educational initiatives and collaborative partnerships, we seek to deepen our understanding of food systems, environmental stewardship, and the essential role of agriculture in building resilient, healthy communities.
Market Inspiration
PRF's Market is inspired by the life and work of our founder, Diana McCargo, an exceptional home-chef, experienced organic gardener, and artful designer of curated experiences and spaces. Influenced by the argi-turismos of Europe and the luminaries of the farm-to-table movement-Chez Panisse, Lost Kitchen, Blackberry Farm, Ballymaloe House, River Cottage, and others-Diana is driven by Vermont's seasonal changes and a foundational belief in fresh, local, simple, and delicious food. Experiencing this connection between food, land, and place is a unique and defining attribute of our operation. For many guests who come to the Farm, that experience begins in our Market. Positioned at the heart of our campus, the Market is the entry point to our hospitality program and where the community engages first with the Farm. It's the place where we share our own products and those of regional artisans and where we celebrate the story of local food systems. We stock our shelves and cases with ingredients, equipment and resources that inspire us to cook, think, and connect. The PRF Market is a fundamental component of helping PRF achieve its mission in supporting regenerative farming, research, education, and community engagement.

Day Camp Counselor
Middlebury, VT
Day Camp Counselor- Peter Coe/Pine Meadow
Are you looking for a rewarding, creative, youth-centered, team-oriented and FUN summer job? Consider joining us at DREAM! The DREAM Program is doing work throughout Vermont, Boston, and Philadelphia to close the opportunity gap for at-promise children and teens through deep community collaboration and sustained mentoring relationships. DREAM's Summer Enrichment Coordinators create and implement free local summer activities with youth who live in our partner communities.
Many children and youth lack access to developmental resources that should be basic rights, and this can be a barrier to achieving their full potential. DREAM's goal is to fill that gap through offering programs and relationships intended to empower youth. We envision a future where every child and teen, regardless of their background, thrives with equitable and sustainable support - breaking systemic barriers. We provide these services to marginalized communities, for youth and families who each have unique backgrounds and lived experiences. Because of this, it is important that incoming staff acknowledge the weight and urgency of incorporating the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into the services provided by our organization and among our staff teams.
Responsibilities and Expectations of Summer Enrichment Coordinators:
Your Impact:
You and your team will plan and implement eight (8) weeks of fun, memorable, enriching summer daytime activities using our summer learning objectives for youth living in low income housing.
The activities you hold will happen in many locations: on-site (in communities where youth live), off-site (local parks, libraries, etc.), and more extensive field trips.
Our summer curriculum will guide you to plan activities based on four main objectives: Healthy Minds/Healthy Bodies, Problem Solvers, Artists and Creators, and Motivated Readers.
You will get to know each individual youth who participates in your day camp group, and incorporate their interests and ideas into your daily activities.
You will work with your team to plan and lead field trips out of the community on a regular basis, at least once weekly.
Teamwork and Communication:
This role involves high levels of teamwork, creativity, and interpersonal communication.
You will be expected to communicate regularly with your co-service members, your supervisor, caregivers of youth in the program, and community members.

Approach to Service:
You will strive to provide a physically, emotionally, and mentally safe and inclusive environment for youth and your team.
While using the summer objectives to guide you, we encourage you to put an emphasis on the interests of the youth being served, play, social-emotional learning, and summertime joy. We also encourage you to incorporate your own passions and skills into the activities being offered.
You will likely engage with and support our survey staff throughout the summer, who are surveying youth as a part of our annual internal evaluations.
Professional Development:
You will receive two weeks of orientation to allow you to build your understanding of our organization, our local communities, and the skills necessary to be successful in the role.
You will develop skills in youth engagement, positive behavior management, adaptability, problem solving, and community outreach.

Dates of service: Monday, June 2, 2025 - Monday, August 11, 2025.
30-40 hours per week, 300 total service hours.
