Volunteer with MAITC
Participating as a volunteer in a Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom (MAITC) program is an opportunity to share your knowledge and passion for agriculture, and to make a real impact on the future of our society. By giving your time and effort, you can help educate students on the crucial role of agriculture in our economy, environment, and everyday life.
Shape Young Minds with Your Agricultural Expertise
MAITC offers a platform to give back to the community by enlightening the younger generation about the importance of agriculture in Minnesota and beyond. Our educational resources are widely appreciated by teachers and students alike, ensuring your efforts directly contribute to a more agriculturally literate society.
Contribute to Lifelong Learning
The program is not just about teaching facts or theories, but about cultivating a culture of lifelong learning. As a volunteer, you become a critical part of this mission, fostering curiosity and understanding among students, and promoting a deep, lasting appreciation for agriculture.
How You Can Volunteer:
Make a Difference with Farm Camp
Farm Camp offers a unique opportunity for students to engage in a hands-on, immersive agriculture experience on the farm. Over three days, students interact in the diverse world of farming in Minnesota, gaining valuable insights into the cultivation of crops, raising of livestock, and daily life on a farm. Through Farm Camp, we bring the farm to the classroom, but your assistance can help take this experience to the next level.
