We believe that how we work together is as important as the work we do. That’s why we grow strong teams that foster change through learning, sharing, and development. Each year, we hire around 20 young people to help grow our farms and facilitate our learning programs through seasonal positions.
Coquitlam SOYL Program Facilitator
If you are passionate about working with teens (Grades 9 to 12), cultivating personal growth and community leadership through food, this could be your job!
As a SOYL Program Facilitator, you will work to inspire and engage SOYL youth at Millside Centre in Coquitlam. You will work with a co-facilitator to inspire and engage youth by leading farm tasks and workshops, assisting with logistics and communications, and supporting and mentoring youth.
The SOYL program engages 45 high school youth each summer. The program focuses on collaborative work, practical skills, food-systems thinking, and social-emotional development. SOYL runs for six weeks during the summer at two locations: Coquitlam & Vancouver. Youth receive a stipend for participation, which includes work on the farm and at markets, preparing food for shared meals, and engagement in workshops, field trips and activities.
