LNA is hiring a Community Garden and Food Justice Organizer

Job posting translation in Spanish HERE

Part-time (up to 80 hours per month), seasonal, staff person with LNA ($15-17 per hour, beginning March 2021 through harvest).  Located in the heart of South Minneapolis, the Lyndale Neighborhood Association is on the front line of issues that make Minneapolis a better place to live, work, play and invest for everyone who calls Minneapolis their home.

Position Overview:

The Lyndale Garden and Environment (G&FJ) Organizer will oversee the site development, management and community building at three, local community gardens. The G&FJ Organizer will also work to connect these gardeners to other community gardens in Lyndale and Kingfield to raise funds, provide educational opportunities, and to build community and connect gardeners across cultures and communities.

KFNA is an organizing organization. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

November 17, 2020 By Sarah

We are not a “homeowners association” or a membership organization. Everyone in Kingfield belongs to KFNA. Our work is often low visibility, behind the scenes, and focused on supporting community members. In these uncertain times this support is critical.  Yet the reality is that the city of Minneapolis is facing significant budget pressures and KFNA’s financial support will be cut significantly over the next several years. To continue to exist in our current capacity, we need donations and engagement from you, as neighbors and stakeholders.

Please consider a financial donation to allow KFNA to continue to be an active community builder and voice at the table.  Every dollar helps. Support KFNA Directly this week with any size donation this week as part of Give to the Max.

Dear Kingfield, how do we love you? Let us count the ways!—

November 13, 2019 By Sarah

It’s Give to Max Day Thursday November 14, so we Ask that You Consider Donating to KFNA, Your Most Local Nonprofit!

There are so many things to love about Kingfield…a great park, a hopping weekly market, delicious homegrown food cooked up by local restaurant owners, plus (and here is where KFNA comes in!) a jumble of engaging and creative events, meetings, and activities designed to keep you informed and get you engaged with your community.

 

And this “community” isn’t something that just happens, it is something that Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA), your local nonprofit, works really hard to create. Why? Because we believe that now, more than ever, taking time to grow connections and foster community can make a foundational change to not only our neighborhood but also in our city and country.  Also, by building a welcoming, inclusive, open and caring community we will have a positive impact on our current and future neighbors.

Learn more about what KFNA does and consider making a donation to your local nonprofit organization here.  Thank you!
