    Description

    If you are a youth aged 14-19 and located anywhere in Ontario, this could be for you!

    By joining our Youth in Food Systems team, you can learn about and explore food systems while creating content for empowering and inspiring your peers to do the same.

    Do you have a way with words, or just an interest in writing? Or perhaps you enjoy providing thoughtful feedback? Or have a knack for design?

    Are you eager to learn about and share knowledge about food systems and sustainability with your peers?

    Join the youth-led blog as a Writer, Editor, Designer, or Publisher!

    We are bringing youth on for each role within the youth-led blog team this year! Visit www.seeds.ca/schoolfoodgardens/blog to see the project.

    WRITERS

    Do you have a way with words, or just an interest in writing? We have an opportunity for you to write about food- and sustainability-related topics for the blog! It’s written for young people, by young people, to educate and inspire your peers.

    EDITORS

    The essence of the blog lies in having high quality content, and that shouldn’t fall solely on the blog writers. Our editors are responsible for reviewing each post and providing suggestions and feedback before the posts get published.

    DESIGNERS & PUBLISHERS

    The aesthetic of the blog is important for capturing readers’ attention. This means having a featured image for each and every blog post created; and publishing each post in a way that is user friendly and appealing. If you have a creative eye and want to produce final pieces that are inviting, this role could be the perfect fit for you!

    Depending on selected role(s) within the team, you can expect to gain:

    Research skills

    Written communication skills

    Critical thinking and time management skills

    Leadership skills

    Graphic design skill

    Collaboration skills within the blog team

    Confidence in yourself and your abilities

    A chance to have your work published on a professional webpage

    Time commitment: 6 month minimum, 2+ contributions / month on a self-selected schedule
