About.
EcoVillage at Ithaca is part of a global movement of people seeking to
create positive solutions to the social, environmental and economic
crises our planet faces. Since 1991 we have developed an award-winning
ecovillage that invites you to live, learn and grow. Our mission is to
promote experiential learning about ways of meeting human needs for
shelter, food, energy, livelihood and social connection that are
aligned with the long-term health and viability of Earth and all its
inhabitants. We have 100 modern, energy efficient homes built in 3 neighboring communities on hundreds of acres of land that incorporate 4 different, income producing farms. We are located just outside the small but vibrant city of Ithaca, NY in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York, an approximate 4 hour drive from New York City.

Eco-Gap Internship Program
Food includedOur Internship Program provides you with an opportunity to live with a household at EcoVillage Ithaca while pursuing a project that interests you and which is relevant to the principles and structure of the village. On your application form you’ll let us know what your interests are and what type of project you can imagine. We will then reach out and discuss with you how we could accommodate your interests. This Eco-Gap program option is quite independent, allowing you to manage your own time and seek out your own interests, while staying committed to learning about EcoVillage Ithaca through your mentors, and working on your personal project. There may be other Eco-Gap participants at the village while you are, but not necessarily.
Project ideas would likely be focused on the themes of small-scale, organic agriculture, healthy cooking and living, green building, energy efficiency and concepts related to living in a community such as conflict resolution, problem solving and leadership. We will be happy to talk to you to offer you ideas and hone in on your interests!
