Welcome to Seeds for Generations,
a family heirloom seed business!
Thank you for your interest in our intern program.
Our online marketing intern program is designed to provide hands-on learning in the areas of content creation, marketing strategy, campaign planning, marketing tactics, website design & optimization, customer support, and more.
Seeds for Generations is a family heirloom seed business that is a vehicle for passing on a love for heirloom seeds and gardening to our descendants. We want to help expand the circle of people reconnecting with the land and growing more of their own food. All life and economic activity ultimately comes from two physical sources: the land and the sun. More people growing means more people literally using seeds for generating life and productivity, an important activity in our consumer economy that’s coming apart at the seams!
This is a big vision, which requires a lot of resources and manpower to accomplish. To help achieve our goals, we have an online marketing intern program to provide an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to get involved in an intimate way in taking this project to a new level!
For more information, please read below.
Thanks for your support,
Jason Matyas
Founder & CEO of Seeds for Generations

Internship is accomplished remotely – only availability, reliable internet access, and effort are required. Compensation will be in terms of training, including numerous online marketing training materials valued at thousands of dollars, and those who gain strong proficiency in their position will be considered for paid compensation for performance. My most important paid team members originally started as interns.

From Jason's Past Interns:
The Intern Program has been a great experience for me. I have been challenged to go beyond my comfort zone and learn brand new things which will be very valuable in the coming years. Jason personally helped me learn the nitty-gritty details of Email Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Excel skills, Website Editing, and General Marketing principles that he has used to double his email list just during the internship alone. This is a great opportunity to expand your horizons, learn many new things about off-grid living, and contribute to a project that is helping thousands of people achieve independence from the modern system. I hope you will seriously consider becoming part of the Beyond Off Grid Intern Program.
Working with Jason and the team has taught me a lot about running an online business. Many of the tools and techniques that I learned at Beyond Off Grid, I’ve been able to apply to other areas of my life. Working remote was hard, but it honed my self-discipline, and was a good introduction to a practice that is becoming common in our day. I highly recommend anyone wanting to take a step towards running their own online business should spend some time with Jason and the team.
Experience teaches you what books never will, especially when it comes to writing and editing. And this internship is exactly that: experience. During the 6 months I learned valuable skills by working on actual projects like PowerPoint presentations, webinar outlines, website posts, and marketing copy through two promotional events and many interesting presentations…all in a Christian environment. This 100% online program allowed me to connect with people from around the world, while still being flexible enough for me to work around prior commitments. This experience has been a great blessing from God and exactly what I needed…thank you Jason Matyas and Beyond Off Grid!
I had the opportunity to intern on the Beyond Off Grid film project for approximately 6 months. I got started hoping to see and experience a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at an entrepreneurial venture. It definitely met those expectations! It was a wonderful experience to work on the various projects provided. The different tasks I was assigned provided me quite a varied experience, which I appreciated. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Matyas and the team; I would highly recommend it to anyone!
