ACEnet Summer Associate

The Healthy Food Access Promotion Program will focus on engaging in the work of community development organizations, farmer’s markets, local businesses and healthy food access programs throughout South East Ohio. The Summer Associate will develop an understanding of poverty issues surrounding healthy and local food access in Appalachia Ohio. In order to address these issues, the program will work with community partners and organizations to plan and implement events surrounding local food at the Nelsonville Farmers Market for the 2016 season. Events will include access to resources like cooking demonstrations and cookbooks for adults or children, tips and tools for growing your own food or other partnerships identified throughout the program term. Events planned will be promoted through video, infographics or other creative outlets. The Summer Associate will represent ACEnet at local food events and healthy access work with documentation blog writings, social media posts, and the creation of video material to be posted on ACEnet and partner websites. The program will lead a Summer Associate to develop an understanding of food systems work in Appalachia and how organizations partner to increase value along the chain of food production, from farmers to consumers and everything in-between.
