Description
The Department for Children and Families (DCF), Economic Services Division (ESD) administers the Farm to Family (F2F) program. F2F helps low-income people buy locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables at participating farmers’ markets and provides recipients with nutritional education. The VISTA will seek solutions to increase efficiency through the creation of new tracking systems while expanding access and providing additional nutrition education to participants. This position is a great fit for a systems-minded individual with an interest in local food systems and state government.
The SerVermont VISTA Program is a comprehensive umbrella project that welcomes host sites tackling a wide array of poverty related issues in Vermont. We place members in organizations and state agencies to fight poverty across the state by increasing education and job-training opportunities, fighting the opioid epidemic creating more food-secure communities, increasing safe and affordable housing, and serving veterans and military families. Our VISTAs build and strengthen systems in order to increase their sites capacity to provide these services to those who need them most.
