AMERICORPS*VISTA AT JUST FOOD
Just Food is a NYC based non-profit organization that addresses regional farm and food issues. We work to build a more just food system. This means, for example, that family farmers make a fair profit for their efforts, and New Yorkers of all income levels have access to affordable, healthy food. It also means that farming techniques focus on the ecological methods that protect nature's resources, as well as the urban and rural people that live off these resources.

Just Food fosters new marketing and food-growing opportunities that address the needs of regional family farms, urban gardeners, and NYC neighborhoods. Through training, leadership development and organizing efforts, we build diverse partnerships to advance dialogue and action on farming, hunger and nutrition. We are seeking multiple full-time VISTA Members to build the capacity of our partners and programs throughout NYC.
