Nurturing the Future of Agriculture
Each spring, SLO CWA opens applications for our Collegiate Social Media and Communications Internship, providing college students with valuable hands-on experience in agricultural communications and nonprofit outreach. Applications open each February and offer interns the opportunity to develop real-world skills in social media management, public relations, event promotion, community outreach, website content, graphic design, photography, and more. This internship is roughly four months and consists of remote and hands-on work. Working alongside our chapter leaders, interns play a role in promoting our mission while building professional experience, expanding their network, and making a meaningful impact on SLO County's agricultural industry.
SLO CWA also awards scholarships to outstanding 4H and FFA members who are dedicated to agriculture and livestock projects. Applications open each April and are available to local youth exhibiting animal projects, including beef, swine, sheep, goats, rabbits, poultry, and other specialty projects. Our scholarship program recognizes the hard work, leadership, and commitment these young individuals demonstrate while helping support their educational goals and future in agriculture. By investing in today's youth, we are proud to help cultivate the next generation of agricultural leaders in San Luis Obispo County.
