Farming offers opportunities that underpin a sense of purpose. Working as a team, in partnership with friends and family; farming can be the basis upon which the most vulnerable in society can be reminded of what it is to be part of something better. At Jamie’s Farm, Jake Curtis ensures that as many children as possible benefit as much as possible from our unique provision of Farming, Family and Therapy, across our five farms. Jake studied History at Cambridge University, before returning to his Birmingham roots to teach just up the road from where he grew up, as part of Teach First. He has also enjoyed teaching overseas, in Palestine and Ghana, and gained a distinction in his Masters on Educational Leadership from Warwick University.
As Director of Programmes and Operations at Jamie’s Farm, Jake ensures that as many children as possible benefit as much as possible from our unique provision of Farming, Family and Therapy, across our five farms. Jake also ensures that the central machine at Jamie’s Farm is well-run, enabling our programme to be effectively delivered. Jake is never averse to a spot of river jumping with visiting children; an unbeatable reminder of what time at Jamie’s Farm is all about!
Jake is also Chair of Oasis John Williams, a fantastic secondary school serving the community of South Bristol. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
