SUMMER 2013 - FOOD JUSTICE ALLYSHIP OPPORTUNITY
City Slicker Farms is currently recruiting Food Justice Allies for Summer 2013. Formerly known as our Urban Farming Internship, Food Justice Allies work alongside staff in the field (Urban Farming Allyship) and in the office (Administrative Allyships). Program work can include building and maintaining compost piles, light construction, weeding, harvesting, pest management, chicken care, greenhouse plant propagation, and farm stand set up and sales. Prior organic gardening experience is not required. Administrative work can include database entry, writing projects, outreach, and supporting our youth development projects. Each position will require between 8 and 16 hours per week. Hours will be determined based on interests and availability. Food Justice Allyships are unpaid. We are happy to work with you and your educational institution to provide school credit. Scheduling is flexible, but we do require a 3-4 month commitment. To learn more about Food Justice Allyships, click here.
We require that prior to an interview candidates should complete one volunteer shift at our Community Market Farms (for a schedule, please click here). Completed applications should be turned into our staff before volunteering at one of our Community Market Farms during our volunteer drop-in hours. If you are not a Bay Area resident and are unable to volunteer before applying, please email completed applications and cover letter to Elyse Rainey at jobs[at]cityslickerfarms[dot]org.
