Community Garden Coordinator

The Community Garden Coordinator, with a coalition of community partners, will facilitate the creation of an intergenerational training ground for small-scale, intensive, sustainable agriculture. Working with a dynamic team of project leaders, the VISTA will transform an abandoned parcel of land into a garden bursting with nutritious vegetables grown by refugee families, middle school students, and other neighborhood residents. The Coordinator will: 1. Collaboratively develop a concept plan for the garden with input and approval from neighborhood residents and partner agencies. 2. Coordinate the building and development of the garden. 3. Fundraise $2,000 for garden materials and coordinate installation with volunteers. 4. Recruit 150 partner agency representatives and neighborhood residents to participate in workdays, educational workshops, and ongoing garden maintenance. 5. Develop a system for measuring impacts of the garden on participants.
