Seed St. Louis - Summer Associate VISTA

During the summer months, our Community Projects team at Seed St. Louis works on pre-building a lot of materials for fall garden expansions which take place at community and school gardens in our network. The support we provide helps the gardens continue to provide a place for community members to grow food as well as where children can learn about growing food. In the fall, we typically have 15 community and school gardens which, on average, will serve up to 1,000 people. About half of those will be in food-insecure areas and will help feed people in poverty.

The key responsibilities of the Summer Associate VISTA will be: 

  • Construction of garden materials like raised beds, double-high beds, compost bin systems, benches and more. 

  • Aid our Director of Network Relations with working with volunteers at community and school gardens. 

  • Provide content like pictures and videos to be shared on our social media.
