About Tilth Alliance

Tilth Alliance works in community with Washington farmers, gardeners and eaters to build a sustainable, healthy and equitable food future. Through our work we endeavor to promote and support the adoption of organic, regenerative, sustainable growing practices by farmers and gardeners throughout Washington; to make the food produced by these farmers and gardeners more accessible; and to inspire people to enjoy growing, cooking, and eating food that is both good for them, for their communities, and for the environment.

The primary strategies we employ in this effort are advocacy, education and collaboration. Equity, inclusion and the promotion of a culture of anti-oppression are important outcomes expected of all the work we do.

Tilth Alliance’s Youth & Families programming (Y&F) engages youth ages 1-18, families, and teachers in hands-on classes, volunteer and other learning opportunities in Seattle and King County, around growing food, environmental stewardship, and cooking and sharing food.at our gardens, farm, and wetlands.

The Y&F programs work to create culturally responsive programming that connects young peoples’ identities and knowledge, inspires curiosity, and provides spaces for young people to investigate and find joy in the garden and nature.

The Y&F Project Manager (Farm to Preschool) is a combined responsibility of around 60% Farm to Preschool (F2P) coordination & education, and 40% general Youth & Families programming. During summer camp programming, that ratio will adjust to accommodate more summer camp responsibilities. The Farm to Preschool program is a contract that we have with the City of Seattle Human Services Department (HSD), along with a partnership between 8 F2P community partners providing education, procurement, and food access through family food bags to specific Seattle Preschool Program sites.

Farm to Preschool Responsibilities (60%):

• Lead Farm to Preschool nutrition education activities such as mobile garden classes, family events, and “pop-up” markets with preschool-age participants, site staff, and families
• Use existing Farm to Preschool curriculum and recipes to lead classes, adapting as needed to site specifications; and co-design new lessons, programming, and resources internally and with F2P partners when necessary
• Develop and sustain relationships with F2P partner organizations, preschool sites, Tilth Market Program, and other community partners
• Collaborate with the F2P Nutrition Educator Project Manager in all areas of work on the Farm to Preschool contract
• Document and track programming information records; provide data and narrative content for monthly reporting
• Provide “farm to table” education that is culturally relevant and increases access to local produce at snacks and meals
• Attend internal and external bi-weekly, monthly and quarterly F2P meetings with City of Seattle Human Services Department and partner organizations.

Youth & Families Programming Responsibilities (40%):

• Guide children and families through hands-on, outdoor science investigations and cooking activities; engage children in farm/garden stewardship tasks that create meaningful connections with the natural environment, food, science, community, and health.
• Teach…
