Recruiting fellows for the International Agricultural Education Fellowship Program (IAEFP-Mexico) to promote agriculture among youth in Puebla, Mexico. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and implemented by the University of Missouri and the educational leader UPAEP in Puebla. The fellowship will support and train eight fellows to be based in a high school for an academic year to promote agriculture and leadership among the students and community.

The IAEFP is open to U.S. citizens with a bachelor’s degree in an agriculture-related field and Spanish language skills. The fellows will support hands-on learning using 4-H Clubs and other curricula that facilitate youth’s leadership in agriculture throughout food value chains. While fellows may lead some activities in the classroom, their focus is extracurricular activities.
