Climate & Community Resilience Program Assistant

Work with Eastie Farm as a QVS Fellow!

About the position:

Eastie Farm is a grassroots climate and food justice organization. Our work is deeply community-based, focused on context-based climate solutions for a better today and tomorrow. We operate 7 urban farm sites, including a geothermal greenhouse. We farm, we operate a CSA (fresh produce box), run K-12 climate literacy programs, and lead a youth green job program. 

As a fellow at Eastie Farm, your role would be to support one or more of these programs! The specific role would be dependent on your interests and skills, and how they align with our needs as an organization. Past fellows have straddled multiple programs, for example, working part-time in our greenhouse taking care of plants and working part time as a climate educator in our school gardens. Other fellows have honed their graphic design and tech skills for our website and organizational communication, while also helping to plan community events. Our community is housed in a minority-majority, mostly LatinX, Environmental Justice community.
