Junior Leader
Development Program....
a 3 stage program which will eventually lead successful applicants into employment here at the Butterfield Acres!
Are you 13-15 years of age? Would you like to develop skills and character through experiences working with animals? and children? Do you enjoy being in a fast-paced environment with other people who are passionate about what they do? Then the Butterfield Acres farm environment could be for you!!!
We invite cream-of-the-crop teens to submit an application to the Junior Leader Development Program .... and eventually join our often-complimented staff as talented, committed, and fun-loving "We love farm" staffers!
You'll have fun, and......
- discover your strengths and talents, learn lots of new skills !
- expand your social circle !
- build a sense of independence !
- gain self-confidence and many new animal and people skills !
- learn through first-hand, hands-on experience !
- be a part of a great team of Farm Hands!
- preference given to 'graduates' of our Farmers-in-Training Day Camp Program
The 3 stages:
- Volunteer stage: you work under the guidance of existing staff members participating in a variety of Butterfield Acres activities and programs. You might be paired up with different Senior Leaders for offsite activities like our Farm Corral (petting zoo) which takes animals out to activities all over Calgary, or help out with the Legendary Easter Hunt, the Harvest Pumpkin Hunt, or work with the summer Day Camp program as a Junior Leader. This stage of the program is 60 hours.
- Honorarium stage: you start earning a little money once you've got a few skills in your back pocket! You continue to learn as much as you can, and increase your knowledge and skills. You are usually given more responsibility a bit at a time and there'll be opportunities for new and different experiences as you become more capable. This stage of the program is based on merit and gradually phases into the third and final stage as you impress Senior Leaders with how your knowledge and skills are getting more and more amazing! Let your super-star show!
- You're invited to be 'official staff' !!!! Of course you still grow and learn (we never stop around here!), and eventually, if you're really top notch, you'll eventually be put into leadership roles where you help teach and lead. Maybe you'll even take over the farm one day!!!
So, let me fill in the application form!
