Communications Coordinator Job Posting
The National Young Farmers Coalition (Young Farmers) represents, mobilizes, and engages
young farmers to ensure their success. Since our founding in 2010, we have grown our
grassroots network to over 200,000 individuals and partner organizations. We give young
farmers tools to become leaders in their communities, building an effective political voice at the
local, state, and national level. Together, we tackle the most critical structural and economic
barriers that prevent motivated young people from starting and growing successful farm
businesses—including access to affordable farmland, student debt, climate change, healthcare,
racial inequities, and more. We have won historic investments in beginning farmer training,
outreach to farmers of color, and farmland conservation. Our advocacy for a USDA Farm
Service Agency microloan resulted in a loan program in every county that has served more than
30,000 farmers.
Young Farmers is hiring for a Communications Coordinator to support Young Farmers

Communications staff, this role creates and posts content, engages with online communities,
