You’ll help facilitate a joyful market for our customers, deepen relationships with our farmers, do outreach and marketing, and support our volunteers. This position is ideal for someone who is passionate about food systems, is a clear, energetic, and warm communicator, and is interested in a physically active role. Members will learn about dignified responses to food insecurity, the Tucson local food system ecosystem and the key players, the realities of being a small-scale farmer, and how to develop community-focused strength-based programming.
