After many years with Fresh Roots, our fabulous Communications Coordinator has moved on to other projects. We are now on the search for a new Communications and Operations Manager, and we'd love your help in spreading the word.
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Communications and Operations Manager plays a crucial role in advancing Fresh Roots' mission by overseeing operations and communications, enhancing data management systems, and supporting fundraising. By coordinating our overall operations, this collaborative role ensures the effective and smooth running of Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society to grow and expand our impact. This role requires a versatile, attentive, and proactive individual with strong skills in operations management, communications, and fundraising.

Growing Food. Growing Communities.
We have the privilege and honour to work on this land that is not ours. This is the ancestral and unceded homelands of the sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), stó:lō (Sto:lo), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Coast Salish peoples. As settlers, as farmers, and as educators, we acknowledge the harm that farming and schooling have done to Indigenous Peoples and the land across this region. We work towards ongoing reconciliation as listeners, food sharers, and land stewards.
If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the Earth before we ask them to save it. - David Sobel
