Youngstown urban growers seek job applications
YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning Valley Food Coalition, a local food advocacy group, identified nine new positions directly related to food production and the local food system.
The new entrepreneurs and established organizations are seeking applications for the positions, as they try to establish a food system that spurs growth in the local economy.
Grow Youngstown is hiring a full-time manager with two years of experience in produce marketing or combined marketing and farming for its Farm to You program.
Additionally, the group has an opening in its Grow to Own program for a grower interested in farming at the intersection of Ohio and Fairgreen avenues on the North Side.
To apply for either position, visit www.growyoungstown.org, or submit a resume and cover letter. In the case of Grow to Own, send a proposal to elsa@growyoungstown.org.
