FRESH HEROES INTERNSHIP
Description: FRESH is looking for a number of interns to lend their passion and excitement to our FRESH Heroes Project. FRESH Heroes are people in each of our communities that are making a difference in our journey toward a sustainable food system.

Please see our FRESH Heroes blog here: http://www.freshthemovie.com/tag/fresh-heroes/
Interns will compile a group of up to 10 individual video snapshots of these inspiring people in their own communities. Each snapshot should be no longer than 2 minutes, but should capture the energy and excitement behind the inspiring projects that are changing the face of our food system.
Requirements: A passion for the topic of sustainable agriculture is a MUST! Interns must have their own recording and editing equipment.
