Farm To School Member

Public Health AmeriCorps (PHA) Farm to School members are a part of the Food and Health Network‘s regional Farm to School program that works collaboratively with 29 school districts in South Central New York. PHA Farm to School members will work as part of a team with the Farm to School Coordinator to develop, implement, grow, and evaluate programs to bring healthy, local food to students. Members will work with staff, students, parents, farms, and community partners to increase capacity for hands-on learning, local procurement, and creating a school-wide culture of health. For more information, please visit our website.
Please note: AmeriCorps positions are unlike traditional jobs or internships. An AmeriCorps position runs for a set amount of time (in this case, September 2024 – June 2025) for a set number of hours (900). Throughout the course of their term, the member receives a living allowance of $11,375, broken into bi-weekly payments. At the end of the member’s term, they receive an education award of $3,697.50 to put towards education expenses (tuition, student loans, etc).
We require candidates to submit an outside (non-Handshake) application, which can be found on our website.
