Maan Permaculture Center Volunteer/Intern

Support the growth of a leading Permaculture training and demonstration site.

Work alongside trained staff to maintain the farm, plant and harvest crops, conduct ecological research and experiments, and greet many local groups coming to learn. Support efforts to grow the project's visibility and capacity.

Explore a scenic and lesser known region of the country, a historic agricultural landscape, and join the movement to promote sustainable agriculture as a return to the roots of Palestinian culture and livelihood.

Founded in 2012, the Maan Permaculture Center (MPC) draws on applied agricultural research to adapt solutions relevant to Palestinian farmers, students, and workers in the agricultural sector. It is a working agricultural extension, combining affordable modern techniques with traditional practices of the region. MPC functions both as a research and training site serving a variety of partners including women’s agricultural cooperatives, universities, NGOs, and others.
