The Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE), based in Hardwick, VT, seeks a temporary Recipe for Human Connection Class Co-Facilitator. This is a temporary role August 20, 2026 - mid January 2027 of 9-12 hours a week. Recipe for Human Connection (RFHC) is one of CAE’s place-based education collaborations with Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU). RFHC began in 2020 and has now been a beloved and embedded class at Hazen Union for the last six years. Class activities are facilitated by a team of Hazen staff and community partners, and are co-designed with students to explore how food helps us connect to ourselves, each other and to the wider community. Based out of the Hazen classroom kitchen space, the underlying goal of the program is to explore how food helps us connect, and to create a space for teenagers to experience community through the creative process of cooking and sharing food. Joy, youth voice, relationships, and a culture of care and belonging are foundational values for this work. The RFHC co-facilitator works with middle and high school students, administration, teachers, staff, students and volunteers, as well as some local partners at Hazen, and with colleagues at CAE, most closely with the Community Connections Team.
