Trainee Application Form - Master Gardener™ Online

Overview | Options | Registration | FAQs | Contact Us
This application is for individuals interested in taking part in the volunteer option of the Master Gardener™ Online program (Option 2), including work with an OSU Extension Service office. If you are only interested in the online course (Option 1), this application is not required and you can register now.
Once you've applied, if you are accepted as a Master Gardener trainee for the winter 2010 offering of the Master Gardener Online course, you will receive a letter of acceptance, with a password and link for registration, by November 30, 2009. Please note: a letter of acceptance is required to enter the online course as a Master Gardener trainee (i.e. those pursuing a Master Gardener badge). However, you may register without a letter of acceptance if you are pursuing the Certificate of Home Horticulture ($490 registration fee and no volunteer service requirement).
Early application is encouraged for both the Master Gardener badge and the Certificate of Home Horticulture options, as space is limited. The Master Gardener badge (Option 2) application deadline is November 9, 2009.

Please note: Due to high demand, there is currently a wait list for Portland-metro students. Please complete the trainee application form (on this page), and we will contact you if and when slots become available. Please also consider Portland-area site-based classes for Master Gardener training, or Option 1 of the online course (no volunteer hours). If your county is not listed, it is because they are not currently able to coordinate volunteer service projects for students completing the Master Gardener Online course.
