THE ROLES
We are bringing youth on for each role within the youth-led blog team this year! See the blog here
The roles within the blog team include Writers, Editors, Designers, and Publishers. Youth are invited to join in up to two roles at a time.
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!
