FCS-SF-Food Incubation Center Coordinator

StarkFresh is a small, but mighty 501(c )3 nonprofit located in Canton, Ohio & servicing Stark County, Ohio. Our mission is tackling the causes of hunger by creating realistic pathways out of poverty. Although our organization has been around in various fashions since 1984, we didn’t start focusing on food insecurity until 2011. Being a small organization with several large-scale programs & a limited paid staff, we are quite adept at utilizing partnerships & our volunteer network to keep the programs running smoothly. We have a myriad of programming that advances us towards our goal to create an overarching, integrated solution to the problem of increasing fresh, nutritious food access & consumption in chronically underserved neighborhoods throughout the County. These programs include Free Seed Library network, Teaching Farm, Training Farm, Cooperative Farm, Food Justice Campus which houses the Food Incubation Center, Shared Commercial Kitchen Space, Shared Office Space, Mobile Grocery Market, nonprofit Grocery Store. The Food Incubation Center Coordinator will continue to form a business development framework centered around resources available at the Food Justice Campus. VISTA will work with industry partners develop a collaborative training & mentorship program. Candidate should be a confident, self-starter with strong project coordination experience. VISTA can expect to be exposed to numerous professional environments and many opportunities to learn more about systematic racism and the lasting effects it continues to have on our food system. Being able to articulate hope and confidence about this project’s success is important and being able to convey this through public and one-on-one communication is vital to this position.
