Community Engagement Specialist

The mission of Fresh Approach is to create long-term change in local food systems by connecting California communities with healthy food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition. We accomplish our mission through a variety of food access and education programs across the Bay Area, including the Mobile Farmers Market, VeggieRx, Collective Gardening Network, and the East Palo Alto Community Farmers’ Market. We believe that everyone should have equal access to healthy foods and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand. Reporting to the Community Engagement Program Manager, the Community Engagement Program Specialist is responsible for implementing Fresh Approach’s community outreach and engagement activities in the South Bay which includes projects to promote and incentivize the use of public benefits at farmers’ markets, the Volunteer and Internship Program, the Community Ambassador Program, and the Community Advisory Board. We are seeking an individual who values diversity at all levels and is committed to fostering an environment in which community members and co-workers from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and personal experiences are welcomed and can thrive. #J-18808-Ljbffr
