Local Hero Program Intern: One opening
Our Local Hero internship is a great way to learn about CISA’s work and what it takes to run a Buy Local campaign. CISA has direct relationships with the 250 farmers and an additional 100+ businesses who are members of our Local Hero program. We will be developing promotional materials about members to connect our broader community to local farms and food businesses. We are looking for someone organized and interested in these topics to:
- Update our online guide of local food and farm;
- Distribute promotional and outreach materials to member businesses and community sites;
- Assist in data entry and analysis of surveys from technical assistance workshops and our year-end evaluation;
- Write profiles of members for our website and promotional work; and
- Calls and outreach to Local Hero members.
Qualifications: Skilled in conducting research, interest in local agriculture and food, comfortable talking on telephone, well-organized, ability to present data clearly, experience with Excel and/or databases, and access to transportation required (sometimes a bus schedule can work, but public transit is limited in our rural part of the state).
