About the role

Our Market Garden program grows vegetables in five urban plots on the East Side of St. Paul. The gardens allow us to teach youth important job skills, address food insecurity on the East Side, and sell produce to support our vital programming. In the spring, help us prep our garden plots for the growing season. In the summer, help us weed and maintain our gardens, and in the fall, we'll put our gardens to bed for the winter. Harvesting also happens throughout the summer and fall. There are a variety of shifts for this opportunity. Please visit Urban RootsMN.org/volunteer to see dates and times and to sign up.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
