As many of you know, it’s been a challenging year for many, including our community here at HERBalachia, as we continue to recover from the devastating floods. In response
to inquiries about scholarships and financial aid for the Herbalist Lifestyle Program, I’ve been reflecting on how I can best support those who are passionate about herbalism but face financial barriers.
This year, I’m offering a work trade opportunity for one person to attend the Herbalist Lifestyle Program. This is a chance to gain access to the program by contributing time and energy in exchange for tuition assistance. Given the timing, applications must be submitted quickly, and I will be reviewing them promptly.
If you're interested, please submit your application as soon as possible. I’ll be reaching out to schedule an interview, and the selected candidate will be officially awarded the work trade by March 31st.
Please note: a non-refundable deposit of $650 will still be required to hold your spot in the program, ensuring both commitment to the program and to the work trade agreement.
What are the benefits of the work trade opportunity?
Hands-on experience: Help with various local events like farmers markets, Sassafras Moon Herbal Festival, and other community gatherings and events.
Learn the business side of herbalism: Gain experience promoting the school, selling products, and running interactive booths (such as make-your-own tea bags).
Community connection: Engage with the local herbal community and build relationships with like-minded individuals while supporting HERBalachia’s mission.
A deeper connection to the program: By helping with events, you’ll have a chance to be an active part of the HERBalachia experience and learn valuable skills in event promotion and product sales.
I’m excited to offer this opportunity and to work with someone who is eager to learn and grow within the herbal community. If you’re ready to get started, please don’t wait, apply today!
