Volunteer Internship

When you finish your training, you'll be expected to complete a 50-hour internship within one year of completing the certification program. Interns can work in a variety of existing approved Master Gardener projects. Typical ongoing opportunities include fielding gardening questions of your Rhode Island neighbors at local exhibits or on the Cooperative Extension Gardening Hotline.  Demonstration garden projects include working in our greenhouses or vegetable or rose demonstration gardens. On-going community garden projects exist in Pawtucket and Bristol. Also, several opportunities exist in Providence at Roger Williams Park Botanical Center. URI Master Gardeners also speak to local groups around the state.   The program coordinator and the URI Master Gardener Association will coach you and support your efforts to work in approved Master Gardener volunteer projects and teams.
