Are you thinking about working on a farm? Do you see a future working with animals, but need some hands-on experience? Our farm internships provide that and much more. All interns take part in the daily operations of the farm, performing a wide array of chores, from feeding and herding farm animals to moving irrigation pipe and bucking hay. Interns also help guide tours, learn the principles of permaculture, help rehabilitate and socialize farm animals and participate in special projects.

Our internship program is a full-time, unpaid position. We provide comfortable housing in a shared living space, with some food staples provided. Interns are responsible for their own food and transportation. Internships run throughout the year, and typically last three to four months; however, some of our interns have stayed as briefly as six weeks and as long as nine months. Many of our interns go on to do inspirational things, like working at Best Friends Animal Society or Farm Sanctuary.

The ideal candidate will enjoy the opportunity to volunteer on a care farm where people, animals and the earth work together for mutual healing.

We currently have internship positions available. We ask for interns that live onsite to stay for a minimum of 6 weeks. We offer off-site internships to local Southern Oregon residents.

Submit an application online (recommended) or download and submit a hard copy.

I think about Sanctuary One all the time. I dream of returning if the right opportunity were to arise. When I explain it to people I tell them that it’s my heaven and I really mean it. My time there with you and others was the chapter of my adult life that I will recall the most fondly, passionately, and vividly.  I wouldn’t be who I am today in terms of my values, worldview, and dreams without S1 and the incredible love, support and guidance.

Duckie, now Daisy, came to us after we received a phone call from the City of Medford that a duck had flown into their 2nd story building. Concerned employees rushed out to help the duck and Jennifer, a city employee, took Duckie home for the night until Colleen could meet up with her the next morning. As seen in the pictures, Duckie loved to swim in Jennifer's bathroom sink! After reading an ad that a neighbor was searching for a companion for her solo duck Margot, Colleen quickly reached out to her neighbor and the rest is history- Daisy and Margot are now bff’s!Update from adopter:"Daisy is adorable, she perches up on the awning and watches the world go by. Sometimes she gets after Margot duck because that silly duck still quacks all day long...ugh... She's really a wonderful girl and we're happy to have her ☺️Maggie and Preston" ... See MoreSee Less

So how about this factoid: A small group of ladybugs is known as a “loveliness” (!) Volunteer Week 2024 could be compared to the swarming of multiple “lovelinesses” of ladybugs making their way to the farm to benefit our garden ecosystems. Ladybugs are both significant pollinators, as well as feeders on other insects (like aphids and lace bugs) who can wreak havoc on a garden when their populations are out of balance. Ladybugs help bring beauty and balance to our gardes, just like our deeply appreciated volunteers. Here are just a few photos of some of such critters from Volunteer Week 2024! 🐞 ... See MoreSee Less
