The climate crisis is the biggest threat and opportunity for humanity. We are exploring new ways of living and land stewardship aimed at reducing atmospheric carbon.

This farm is a living research project on how to build a collaborative food system that benefits the climate, ecology and eater.

To ensure accessibility of this model we are committed to providing open source education throughout the process, offering diversified programs and agritourism offerings.

In our work, we seek to solicit redistribution of land and resources and uplift those already working to build a regenerative community. We are throwing away the rule book, welcoming unorthodox approaches of how to farm and connect. 

We are an arm of the Spark of Hudson  - a community learning hub that provides open source educational content, developed in collaboration with local partners.

Position Overview: 

• Work within a mutual aid organization dedicated to sparking connections between people and the resources they need to empower and regenerate Community. 
• Assist in driving the development of the public image for Spark of Hudson (including Wally Farms, HudsonUp and Eutopia)
• Use specialized communications and marketing skill set to convey our work to the public
• Use creative storytelling skills to create engaging content
• Assist with administrative tasks related to programming and events. 

About Spark of Hudson:

We are a community learning hub that provides open source educational content, developed in collaboration with local partners.

Our current system undervalues the facilitation of knowledge sharing and does not uplift those working towards a more collaborative model. We aim to do it differently. 

We believe the key to to building an inspired, dynamic community is the free exchange of knowledge and resources. That is why we work to activate a mutual aid economy; an economy of exchange motivated by the collective desire to improve community, care for one another and change political conditions.

Through our work we aim to Learn, Create and Activate. 

Learn: Providing open source educational content, programs and workshops.

Create: Provide an incubator for new ideas on how to live differently 

Activate: Provide our community with the resources necessary to implement ideas and projects that contribute to a mutual aid economy. In doing so, we aim to uplift and promote the work of others.
