Thinking Food Jobs, March 14, 2025
Thank you to all who responded to my poll question last week about unpaid internships. 71% of the responses prefer to see only paid opportunities on the list. If I feel I need to share an unpaid opportunity you can bet that I feel it is truly exceptional.
For my highlights this week, I am showcasing food educator positions:
Sullivan County New Hampshire is looking for a Sustainability Educator to connect K-12 students and teachers with their food, soil and communities; maintaining an Eco-Ag Center and education hub on Sullivan County lands.
Ramapo College in Lyndhurst, NJ, has a Mobile Food Laboratory, housed in a retrofitted school bus. They need a part-time Food Educator to develop programs for K-12 students.
Sustainable Nutrition and Community Connection (“SNACC”) needs a Food Educator for school-based and after-school programs in NYC.
If you are interested in working with younger children, NYC-based FoodLab is hiring an Educator to work with pre-K and elementary school children, in a part-time, after-school role.
In the Boston area, Waltham Fields Community Farm has an opening for a year-round, part-time Supervisory Educator to deliver programs for a diverse community of youth and adult learners.
I am happy to know that so many young people with have the opportunity to think and learn about food.
