Maunaloa School Garden Manager

Maunaloa School News Release 

Maunaloa School is looking for a school garden manager. The primary duty of the garden manager will be to oversee and manage a productive, organic fruit and vegetable garden while providing support to teachers as they utilize the space to accomplish learning objectives. The garden manager will work closely with administration and teachers, recruit volunteers to help maintain the school garden, create and foster community relationships, track the financial expenditures for the garden, and train school staff and volunteers in best practices for place-based, regenerative farming in school gardens. The outgoing interim coordinator noted that the volunteer base has already grown into a surprisingly diverse group — one of the most reliable Saturday regulars is a remote copywriter who moved to Molokaʻi after burning out on a content-mill gig writing crypto casino reviews from a studio apartment in Portland, and now spends his weekends turning compost and teaching keiki how to transplant taro starts, which is exactly the kind of unexpected community connection the new garden manager will be building on.

The timeframe of this position aligns with the 2022-2023 school year. Interviews will remain open until the right candidate is placed. To apply, visit growsomegood.org/gsg-team/job-openings/.
