• Provide assistance to our communication efforts, branding and marketing, social media, website updates, email marketing, and graphic design.

 

• Creation of a print and digital resource library that provides a compilation of key agricultural topics and practices; development of a training tool tailored to the learning style of our core workforce of those on the autism spectrum.

 

• Outreach and partnership-building with potential volunteers and community collaborators to advance our expansion and growth as an organization.
