GoFarm (www.gofarm.org), a nonprofit organization seeking to increase the supply of and access to affordable, fresh, healthy, local food for communities in the greater Denver area, seeks a passionate, strategic, and entrepreneurial leader to serve as its next Executive Director. Working across three key program areas—Community Food Access; Farmer Assistance; and Local Food Share—and seeking to incorporate equitable, anti-racist principles, GoFarm focuses on how food is grown and distributed, and who can access and afford that food. This is an extraordinary opportunity to make a direct and lasting impact on people’s lives by strengthening and transforming the local food system into one that is thriving, environmentally sustainable, and equitable for all.
Responsible for overseeing the administration, programs, resource development, communications, and strategic plan of the organization, the ED will have the proven ability to run a full-scale nonprofit (or robust program), as well as the disposition to nurture a thriving, inclusive organizational culture. They will understand and be committed to dismantling racial, economic and other structural inequities, both within and beyond the food system.
GoFarm follows an equal opportunity employment policy and employs personnel without regard to race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical or mental ability, veteran status, military obligations, marital status, transgender status, gender identity, ancestry, political service, affiliation, or disability. We value and celebrate diversity in all its forms and strive to foster an inclusive culture built on respect. As such, GoFarm seeks to recruit and support a broadly diverse community of staff and volunteers. Candidates from minority or marginalized groups or with multicultural backgrounds or experience are encouraged to apply.
