Description
Each year, a group of high school students interested in gaining food systems, business, and leadership experience take on a variety of duties (our “Market Leaders”) in our summer Youth Food Market.
Now, we’re looking for Market Leaders to join us throughout the school year in preparation for 2024's Markets! Leaders will gather virtually on a monthly basis to brainstorm ideas, create strategies, build partnerships with local farms and organizations, conduct community research, and more!
Time commitment: October 2023 onwards for 1-2 hours/week (flexible)
Please note: Market Leaders should be located in Waterloo Region and willing to take part in in-person activities. Some exceptions may apply – get in touch if you’re outside of Waterloo Region but are eager to be a Market Leader!
