HYFC is Hiring!

Seeking applicants for Monroe County Fellowship Coordinator...apply by 12/30:

We've run the Hoosier Beginning Farmer Fellowship for two years...and thanks to generous support from the city of Bloomington and the National Young Farmers Coalition, we are able to tailor our Fellowship program to focus on BIPOC farmers in the Monroe County area.  We are also able to offer our Fellows $5,000 as compensation for their participation in the Fellowship. The goal of the funding is to acknowledge the work farmers put into being fellows, and to allow beginning farmers to build their farm’s capacity, scale up their farm to the next level, and/or intensify their farm’s impact on local and regional food systems throughout Indiana. Ideally, the funds will offset costs incurred by participating in the Fellowship, and let the farmer tackle a major farm project that will advance their growing businesses.

​The Monroe County Fellowship Coordinator will oversee the administration and execution of the Fellowship program. They will be given a broad array of day-to-day tasks to ensure the Fellowship program runs efficiently, and will be asked to participate in bigger-picture discussions to help improve future Fellowship offerings.

Ideal candidate has some of the following:

• Passionate farmer or farm advocate
• Lives in or near Monroe County, and can attend five meetings in person
• Self starter
• Collaborator, who wants to work closely with HYFC board and the Fellows
• Enjoys facilitating meetings
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Able to conduct prompt email and phone communication
