Dates: May 16 – June 13, 2026. Seguinland alumni are invited to apply to this immersive, place-based internship opportunity with Robinhood Farm & Forest (RFF), along the shores of Robinhood Cove on Georgetown Island.
Over the course of a month, interns will learn about organic gardening, forest trail maintenance & mapping, and oyster farming. No prior experience necessary; curiosity and eagerness to get hands dirty are essential as we learn together about best practices.
Our mission at Robinhood Farm & Forest is to steward biodiversity and resilience of the natural resources, grow and share healthy vegetables, and engage the local community in reciprocal relationships with the environment of Georgetown Island.

RFF is located ten minutes from the Seguinland Institute campus; interns are encouraged to join for special May Term events. Plus you have a chance to enjoy the beautiful late Spring/early Summer season in Georgetown, Maine—with lots of time to explore Reid State Park and the water.

Admission: We will extend offers by April 15th.
Open to up to 5 Seguinland alumni.
program details
Shared Meals & Weekly Potlucks with Discussion: A welcome dinner and weekly potluck dinners gather alumni, faculty, and staff, anchoring our time together, pairing food with open discussion around farming, place, and community—guided by themes that emerge from the group.
Housing: You’ll have access to shared living spaces that support daily life on the farm. Robinhood Farm & Forest offers a cozy home base with bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and WIFI. These environments are designed to foster connection, independence, and focus.
intern EXPECTATIONS
This Internship Opportunity offers a chance to take the lessons and experiences about living the good life, from Seguinland’s more structured academic programs, and begin putting them into practice. While you’ll have mentorship along the way, this experience is especially shaped by your own direction and the support you offer one another.
Professionalism: Treat your internship as a job. Be present, reliable, communicative, and proactive. Your role matters. You’re representing Seguinland, and your contributions have a direct impact.
Communal Living & Cooking: Living in community requires flexibility, awareness, and shared responsibility. You’ll be expected to take an active role in communal life: cleaning, cooking, and helping sustain a respectful, functional home for all. You will be responsible for your daily meals.
Transportation: You’ll need to coordinate your own transportation for the duration of the program—including travel to Seguinland’s campus, grocery shopping, and travel to and from Robinhood Farm & Forest (RFF), upon arrival and departure. No transportation is provided by Seguinland or RFF. We encourage alums to plan ahead and coordinate car access with each other in advance.
