Are you looking for hands-on experience in regenerative ranching? Quivira Coalition's New Agrarian Program (NAP) is an eight-month apprenticeship for beginning agrarians on working regenerative ranches in the Intermountain West.

A NAP apprentice gains knowledge by working for and learning from their experienced mentor, but also through a variety of offerings through the program to complement their education.

This program is designed for the beginning agrarian who is seeking real-world experience in regenerative agriculture, and willing to commit to the hard work and long days it takes to gain that experience. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. in order to apply. You do not need prior agricultural experience, but some experience will help your application. Applicants should be 20 years of age or older.

Apprentices work full-time from March/April until November and take part in many of the activities necessary for the daily operation of the ranch or farm. Ideally, basic, repetitive tasks are balanced with new and increasingly challenging work to enable the development of higher-level skills and to further apprentice learning.

Mentor site descriptions can be found here.

Applications are open from November 1st-December 15th or until all positions are filled.
