Agriculture Resource Center Specialist (RSI)
Farm Philly is hiring a 9-month, full-time position to help operate the Agriculture Resource Center. Philadelphia Parks & Recreation’s Farm Philly Program is pleased to introduce the Agriculture Resource Center (ARC), a community resource hub designed to support residents engaged in public stewardship projects within the City. The Agriculture Resource Center was built on the principles of sharing and solidarity economies. More than a hub, it embodies a commitment to investing in the communities that have stewarded and cared for the land and their neighbors for generations. The Agriculture Resource Center will have many community engagement components, including (1) tool lending library, (2) outdoor community gathering, workshop and training space, and (3) community programming related to horticultural techniques, cultural and ancestral agricultural practices, food preservation, and land advocacy and policy. The tool lending library provides access to a wide range of tools, equipment, and resources to facilitate community garden and farm projects, fruit and nut orchards, tree plantings, and green stormwater infrastructure initiatives. Farm Philly seeks a dedicated and passionate individual to support the operations and community engagement initiatives of the Agriculture Resource Center.
