Teens for Food Justice works to ensure universal equitable access to healthy, fresh, affordable food. We train youth in 21st century hydroponic urban agriculture techniques, entrepreneurship, and health/nutrition education and advocacy, empowering them as change agents who can lead themselves and their own food insecure communities towards healthier futures.
We’re seeking an experienced photographer to help us capture high-quality photos of our program at work and the communities we serve. Photographing our program is a fun opportunity to check out some cutting-edge indoor farming technology and interact with a bright, enthusiastic group of students! To learn more about us, visit Teensforfoodjustice.org.
Requirements :
* Prior photography experience and your own, high-quality camera
* A linkable portfolio with up-to-date examples of your work
* Comfort working around and interacting with children (6th - 12th graders)
If you’re interested in joining us or would like to learn more, please email Joshua Serrano at jserrano@teensforfoodjustice.org with a brief description of your availability and a link to your portfolio. We look forward to hearing from you!

Mission Statement
Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ), powered by Students for Service, brings food equity to urban communities where good nutrition and healthy food access are a significant challenge, and educates and empowers youth to be on the front lines of this work.
Description
Our unique after-school program trains youth, ages 12 to 18, to build and maintain indoor hydroponic farms that serve as local sources for fresh food and centers for nutrition and health education in their schools and communities. Students use cutting-edge hydroponic technology to grow substantial quantities of crops for their school, families, and neighbors. They are trained to become health and nutrition ambassadors who teach skills for healthy eating, shopping, cooking, fitness and lifestyle behaviors to others. Through their own, their peers’, their families’ and their neighbors’ involvement, these young leaders will be the catalysts for a grassroots food justice movement in their community.
