Teen Ag Crew Summer 2025

Maine Coast Heritage Trust is offering teens ages 14-18 an hourly-paid position in the Teen Ag Crew at Erickson Fields Preserve (164 West St., Rockport). Teen Ag Crewmembers will gain hands-on experience in sustainable agricultural practices and learn about their local food system. The produce they raise will supply food pantries, public schools, and restaurants. The position will be part-time June 23 through August 22.  The starting hourly wage will be $14.65.

 

MCHT’s Teen Ag Crew has been an open door for many teens entering the workforce. No previous farming experience is required, just a desire to be outdoors, work hard in a team and learn new skills. The work is both challenging and rewarding and contributes to the Midcoast community by partnering with Good Shepherd Food Bank and food assistance sites.  Since the Teen Ag Crew formed in 2010, it has assisted in the production of 17,000+ pounds of fresh produce annually.

 

The application deadline is Monday, May 5.
