Join Our Team

The Bow Valley Food Alliance is looking for a community-minded organizer, connector and doer to help bring our programs and priorities to life.

This is a one-year position of up to 35 hours/week, focused on program coordination, community outreach, partnerships, events and communications. If you care about food access, enjoy building relationships and are equally comfortable organizing a workshop, coordinating volunteers and telling a great community story, this role could be for you.

This is for you if …

• You believe everyone deserves the right to food

• You love turning big ideas into organized, meaningful action

• You’re a natural connector who enjoys working with community partners, volunteers and diverse groups

• You can keep a few plates spinning without losing sight of the people behind the work

• You believe good communication, strong relationships and a shared meal can go a long way

Your mission …

• Help identify gaps in food access and coordinate collaborative community responses

• Promote programs and initiatives through social media, newsletters, our website, posters and partner networks

• Gather stories, feedback, photos and program information that help us understand and communicate our impact

• Keep community food resources and food asset information current and accessible

• Support public education, research, consultation and advocacy grounded in what we hear from community members and frontline partners

Some days you might be coordinating a Fresh Food Box pickup. Other days you could be planning a workshop, meeting with a community partner, updating a webpage or helping tell the story of why this work matters.

We’re building stronger, more connected food systems across the Bow Valley and we know that work happens best together. Snacks are still highly encouraged.
