The annual NOFA Vermont Children’s Conference, an event that parallels the NOFA-VT annual winter conference, taking place this year February 15 and 16 at the UVM campus, is seeking group leaders. This two-day conference offers children the opportunity to connect to their community, become involved in the Vermont food-scene, and explore the wonders of farming and gardening, seeds and soils, composting and cooking, animals, and much, much more!
A total of 6 “captains” to lead groups of 10-12 kids over the two days of the conference is needed.
