Market Scouts Assistant
ORGANIZATION: Portland Farmers Market
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join our Market Scouts team at the Lents International Farmers Market!
Market Scouts provides a fun opportunity for children to engage in the local food system through conversations directly with farmers, educational games & demonstrations, sharing food knowledge with peers, and exposure to new fruits and vegetables. In exchange, kids get $3 to spend with our vendors in the market.
In this assistant position, you will:
- Greet & check kids in at the Market Scouts booth.
- Guide them through the educational activity.
- Hand them their Market Scouts bucks.
When the kids use their $3 in Market Scouts tokens to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from the farmers at the market, this sends more fruits and veggies home with families and increases the farmers' sales!
