Requests for work, volunteering or internships

We are currently not recruiting for any roles but please read our newsletters for any announcements. We currently do not offer any volunteer or internship placements directly with the LWA, but keep an eye out in the newsletter or on the forum for any members looking for volunteers or workers.

Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

MENTORIO

 

MENTORING

**THE PILOT PROGRAMME IS NOW CLOSED. WE ARE CURRENTLY EVALUATING THE PROGRAMME AND ANY FUTURE PROGRAMME WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER**
More info about the pilot mentoring programme:
The mentoring scheme partnered new entrants with experienced practitioners for support in setting up and enterprises and troubleshooting in the first years of operation. This two year pilot scheme was a partnership between the Landworkers’ Alliance, the Organic Growers Alliance, CSA Network and Ecological Land Coop.
The first year ran from April – December 2020, and the second from January – September 2021. The mentoring offered was be a combination of group mentoring in small groups and one-on-one mentoring, and also included a group gathering and webinar sessions.
The mentoring programme was open to people who have been running a business (or who have a decision making role in a farming business) for less than five years. The programme was open to people who are farming to organic principles/agroecologically across all different farming sectors and we encouraged people from different parts of the country and sectors to apply. 
About mentoring
A mentoring relationship between experienced practitioners and new entrants in the first years of running a land-based enterprise is extremely valuable and can have a significant impact on the development of the business and the success of the new entrant.
