High Rocks - Gardens, Food, and Wellness Education
 
 
 
This AmeriCorps member will help support our gardens, high tunnels, and local foods programs while working directly with community members and young people. They’ll help grow fresh, healthy food for youth programs and teach young people how to grow, market, and sell nutritious food. They’ll also be involved in our Grow Appalachia program, where community members learn how to grow and cook food. Experience is a bonus, but not required — what we’re looking for is someone who loves working with community members and young people and is excited about growing and sharing healthy, delicious food.
