Before Submitting Your Application

Because of the nature of work we do at Farm & Wilderness, we are required to ask if you have ever been convicted of a felony or been arrested for a crime against a child. If Yes, please explain on a separate sheet.

Have You Ever Been Convicted of a Felony? (required)*
Have You Ever Been Arrested for a Crime Against a Child? (required)*

Information on the internet is very easy to access. We would like you to consider that material associated with your name on web sites such as MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, etc. will likely be accessed by campers and/or parents.

Is the material available about you on the web consistent with your role
as a professional staff member who will teach, counsel, and care for children
and young adults?

Please review the Farm & Wilderness website, especially all of the "About F&W" sections. Please note that the F&W community and campus is drug, alcohol, and tobacco free. Staff members are expected not to use drug, alcohol, and tobacco products of any kind on F&W property. All information in this application is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that untrue, misleading, or omitted information herein may result in dismissal.

As mentioned at the top of this form, we recommend saving your essay answers in a separate file for your own records, in case an error occurs during form submission. Please hit the submit button below if your application is complete. You should hear from us within five days of submission, to confirm that we have received your materials.

If you have questions about applying to F&W, or the status of your application, please contact Courtney Porter at 802.422.3761 or hr@farmandwilderness.org
