<p>Program & Development Associate- Forsyth Farmers' Market</p> <p>The mission of the Forsyth Farmers' Market is to promote understanding and participation in a local food system that supports sustainable production and increases access to local products. The Forsyth Farmers' Market (FFM) was founded in 2009 by six women who came together with the intention of supporting their common vision of a local food system that is good for the health of all people and the environment. The FFM was conceived and planned to provide all members of Savannah's community a welcoming, inclusive place to purchase local food and address food access issues. The Program & Development Associate will assist staff to build capacity for the Farm Truck 912 project. This mobile farmer's market will bring fresh, healthy food to low-income neighborhoods with otherwise limited access. Farm Truck 912 will both accept and double SNAP/EBT benefits and offer health and nutrition opportunities.The VISTA will also assist with the Mixed Greens project. Mixed Greens is a group of citizens that strives to build a welcoming community around the Forsyth Farmers' Market and the surrounding neighborhood, as well as provide opportunities for connection and contribution for people with and without disabilities Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.</p> <p>Member Duties : Activities will include: <em>Farm Truck 912 & Forsyth Farmers' Market volunteer recruitment and coordination </em>Farm Truck 912 outreach, media & social media assistance <em>Farm Truck 912 educational events assistance </em>Farm Truck 912 & Forsyth Farmers' Market grant research & assistance *Assist staff with the Mixed Greens project including the development of the annual Forsyth Farmers' almanac.</p> <p>Program Benefits : Living Allowance , Training , Childcare assistance if eligible , Health Coverage* , Housing allowance , Choice of Education Award or End of Service Stipend , Education award upon successful completion of service , Relocation Allowance .</p> <p>Terms :</p> <p>Car recommended , Permits working at another job during off hours , Permits attendance at school during off hours .</p> <p>Service Areas :</p> <p>Community and Economic Development , Hunger , Environment , Community Outreach .</p> <p>Skills :</p> <p>General Skills , Writing/Editing , Fund raising/Grant Writing , Recruitment , Public Health , Community Organization , Communications , Non-Profit Management , Team Work , Public Speaking .</p>
