Market on Main Volunteers
Looking for organizations willing to volunteer at Farm to Tap nights at the Market on Main every last Thursday of the month July-September. We are looking for five to ten volunteers. Organizations will also receive booth space at the Market to highlight their work.
Volunteers will be stationed at market exits to help ensure compliance with open container regulations within the event boundary. Their primary responsibility is to remind attendees that alcoholic beverages must remain within the designated area and cannot be taken beyond event boundaries. Volunteers serve as friendly ambassadors, helping create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Contact Downtown GJ for more information.

West Slope Youth Voice Regional Organizer
The WSYV Regional Organizer works at the intersection of youth development, civic education, community organizing, and institutional relationship-building. The WSYV Regional Organizer’s primary role is to engage students and coordinate campaigns across multiple geographic areas, organizing students from across the Western Slope to participate in youth identified priority campaigns.
This is not a desk job, and it is not a role for someone who needs a fully built playbook to follow. It is a role for someone who is energized by the combination of hands-on relationship work and big-picture program thinking. This is for someone who can sit in a high school classroom one afternoon and draft a strategic evaluation framework the next morning. You will be the first full-time steward of a program that has survived and thrived on passion and part-time attention. That is both a testament to the program’s strength and a signal of how much more is possible with dedicated leadership.
The WSYV Regional Organizer will join an Alliance staff culture grounded in honesty, humor, commitment, and care for one another. We know that the work of rural community organizing is hard and often long, and we take seriously our responsibility to support the people who do it. Staff are expected to bring their full selves to the work — and are supported in doing so.
