Speaking Engagement Coordinator - Volunteer Position

Anywhere in Canada 

Reimagine Agriculture is looking for a volunteer speaking engagement coordinator. This person would work to find different opportunities, coordinate with groups, support on content development and editing and help follow up afterwards.

We founded Reimagine Agriculture to address pressing food system issues like food waste and animal agriculture. These issues are not given enough attention in Canada. The farming sector is often overlooked in critical and ongoing conversations surrounding waste and climate change. As agricultural waste and demand for meat, dairy, and eggs continue to grow worldwide, their contributions to the already dire effects of climate change will worsen. Reimagine Agriculture is committed to reducing the negative impacts of this industry and spur the critical change needed to transform these systems in Canada and worldwide. 

We accomplish these goals through knowledge mobilization, building alliances, and policy change. This takes the form of presentations to various age groups and organizations, national campaigns with democratic engagement, and engagement with related stakeholders. We focus on being effective, using evidence-based reasoning and meeting people where they are.

We do a significant amount of diverse speaking engagement across our pillars on many different topics. This can include presentations on our policy campaign asks, educational materials on diverse topics to organizations in related sectors, or in classrooms. 

We are looking for someone who can help find and manage these events. This involves reaching out to potential organizations and individuals, responding to requests, and helping to manage the whole process from start to finish. It will be done in coordination with other volunteers, team members and the executive director.

We want to find a volunteer who has a strong understanding of agricultural issues and a passion to address them. Applicants should be open-minded and thoughtful. It is absolutely not necessary to be vegetarian or vegan for the position (and may even be an asset as that is the primary population we work with).
