Hilltop Garden and Nature Center at Indiana University seeks interns from the IUB International Studies program to plan, implement and maintain gardens within the Hilltop grounds. Interns will research different gardening techniques and based on those techniques, develop, implement and maintain their garden. Interns will be responsible for the successful implementation of their garden with attention to soil amendments, composting, pest and weed control, irrigation and sustainability. Interns will incorporate various educational components into their garden and lead volunteer groups to help implement and maintain the gardens. Garden techniques and associated materials will focus on food security. Although not required, special interest lies with interns who speak Korean, Chinese or Japanese.

Habitat for Humanity of Monroe Countyis settling into the 2012 build schedule and is in need of committed individuals to aid in its mission to provide simple decent housing for families living in substandard conditions. We are in the process of starting up a new leadership program to provide training opportunities on the various phases of building a Habitat home. Crew leading is one of our biggest needs right now and we are always looking to recruit new trainees who want to learn construction skills and work with volunteers on the job site. Our goal is to provide adequate training and make crew leaders comfortable leading others on certain tasks during a build. We try to personalize the training based on the crew leader's availability and construction interests. We especially seek crew leaders that speak Spanish, but all are encouraged to apply. To arrange an interview, interested students should contact:
