There are a lot of odd jobs to do around Koinonia, many of which could use an extra odd person. “Where do you find odd people?” community members asked. The homeschool group seemed a logical place to start. The students of the homeschool group chose a community member to partner with to perform these jobs. Grace Lyman Barner and Sol Pomeroy chose to learn about working in the bakery with Geneva Brown; Ben Thornburgh and Christian Daniels chose farm work with Brendan Prendergast; Levi Lyman Barner chose mechanical maintenance with Craig Martindale; Hughes Pope chose to hang out with Chuck Wilbanks; Ryan Mournigan, Hugh Pomeroy, and Eric Dalva are learning about woodworking and construction with Nashua Chantal; while I'm learning Web site design, photography, and other digital media skills with Amanda Moore. The purpose of these apprenticeships is to increase the amount of interaction between community members and the students, and to share the individual talents we all have with each other through cooperative work around the farm.
