Mountain Roots Food Project- F2S Summer Outdoor Educator
 
 
 
Mountain Roots is a local food systems initiative serving the central Rocky Mountain communities of Gunnison and Crested Butte. We run a district-wide Farm to School program; we manage five youth and community gardens focused on engagement of marginalized/disadvantaged residents, and we're a key agricultural producer in Gunnison Valley, practicing Regenerative Agriculture on two community farm sites. We are a leader in Community Food Security, meeting food needs of underserved residents with food rescue and food distribution initiatives, including providing weekly boxes of fresh produce along with cooking education and community engagement to 150 low-income, vulnerable, and socially disadvantaged households.

Member Duties : F2S Summer Outdoor Educators assist with cultivating two school gardens through a start-to-finish growing season and integrating them into summer camp curriculum. Members may also coordinate volunteers, build community partnerships, and work to build new programs and community relationships, provide outreach and engagement at community events to promote F2S and the organization’s programs and mission. Because we are a food systems organization, all Members serving at Mountain Roots participate in “cross-pollination” experiences, rotating into all the programs to gain exposure to the wider food systems arena of work, including regenerative agriculture, education, conservation, and community food security. Through this mentored experience, you will gain skills in curriculum development, classroom management, program planning, volunteer engagement, and you will participate in ongoing professional development.
