Team Up - Community Food Educator
 
 
 
Team Up AmeriCorps places AmeriCorps members at organizations throughout Southwest Colorado. Through collaborative service, Team Up AmeriCorps members develop their own professional skills and passions, expand effectiveness of southwest Colorado organizations, and ultimately support people to thrive. Each Team Up AmeriCorps member serves directly at a non-profit, school, or government agency called their Host Site. Members serving at different Host Sites are all part of the Team Up AmeriCorps member cohort; the cohort meets periodically to connect, learn, and build community together. Members are placed at Host Sites based on their specific skills and interests, as well as their desired location of service. We have both Full- and Part-time positions in a variety of focus areas. All positions require a motivated individual that is committed to improving the well-being of community members in beautiful southwest Colorado. Position focus areas include, but are not limited to: youth development, restorative justice, immigrant resource navigation, economic mobility, housing security, social emotional learning, and early childhood education. To view the full position description and see other available positions, visit https://teamup-swco.org/open-positions/. Team Up values the diversity of our community. In principle and in practice the diverse nature of our board, staff, and volunteers is recognized as one of our best assets. We respect each individual’s unique gifts and prohibit unfair or discriminatory practices against anyone because of age, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, gender, sexual orientation, and any other protected category.

Member Duties : This fall Team Up AmeriCorps is seeking two Community Food Educators. Each Educator would split their service time between two local service sites, both 501(c)3 nonprofits focused on food and community: The Montezuma School to Farm Project (MSTFP) and The Good Samaritan Center. MSTFP’s mission is to unite our local agricultural heritage with our growing future by engaging students at the crossroads of food production, resource conservation, and nutrition through educational experiences. MSTFP Members teach lessons, help in the school gardens and become an integral part of our organization and community. GSC offers food to anyone who needs it, with a mission to ensure we all have equitable access to healthy food and supportive connections while working together to build a more just food system. These members will support Good Sam's Food Pantry in its collaborative operations with MSTF.
