DESCRIPTION
Farmigo is hiring for several open positions in our Organizing Fellows program! If you're passionate about building a movement to change the food system through a grassroots, neighborhood-based approach, we want to hear from you.
Farmigo is a mission-driven startup with a simple, ambitious goal: we want to make local, sustainably produced food more accessible and affordable in every community. Farmigo empowers individuals and communities to create "virtual food co-ops", where community members can order directly from local farmers and food makers on Farmigo.com, then pick up their orders at a pick-up site in their neighborhood.
The Role
As an Organizing Fellow, you will be working in our targeted geographic areas in the Bay Area to recruit and develop new leadership, and build new communities around that leadership. This is an extraordinary opportunity to take a leading role in a critically important movement, and to join a fast-growing, venture backed startup with a world-class team and great (and delicious!) perks. We are a hard-working, passionate group of organizers, designers, technologists, digital movement builders, and logistics gurus, working together to transform the food system one community at a time. This is a full-time, six-month salaried fellowship that reports to the Organizing Director, SF Bay Area. Our field team is just getting started, and there is ample opportunity for growth and leadership development.
This is a six-month fellowship. Upon completion of the fellowship, Organizing Fellows will be given the opportunity to apply to join the Organizing program as Organizing Managers. Organizing Fellows will receive world-class training in community organizing skills and strategies, as well as a deep understanding of the local food system here in California. Our goal is to prepare you for long-term success on our goals-driven team by the end of your six-month fellowship.

- a master storyteller spreading the word about healthy, tasty, local food.
- the community voice and face of a fast-growing startup.
