The Westwood Village Farmers' Market is a Certified Farmers' Market with a "farmer first" philosophy. Thursdays from 12-5pm, the market brings together sustainable California farms, local artisans, musicians and community members. The market has a sister nonprofit, Good Habits. Good Habits is a 501(c)(3) that educates children and families on the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables and gives food-insecure individuals access to locally grown produce.
Quick Overview: Our opportunities allow you to see what it takes to run a community farmers' market, meet our vendors and experience our customers first hand. Learn more about or promote sustainable food and volunteer through an educational program.
You will have the opportunity to select your area of interest(s). The following are needed roles:
-Market Host:
Under supervision, help set up, manage, and take down Information Booth at the farmers market. Be a market liaison, answer questions, provide various services, and promote Sprouts of Promise programs and events. Report to on-site Manager.
-Gleaning and Food Recovery
Gather unsellable (but still delicious!) excess produce from farmers at the end of market day, then bring it to a local nonprofit for distribution! Fight food waste, bring nutrition to your community!
-Setup and Breakdown
Help the market managers set up the market in the morning or close up shop for the day.
-Photography Volunteer:
Take photos at the Westwood Village Farmers' Market and at Good Habits in-market and off-site events! Your photos will be used to promote Good Habits programs on our website, social media platforms and on marketing displays.
Schedule flexibility. Requirements: In-market orientation (before or on 1st day of service). Work days and times will vary depending on event, task, position and location.
