Job Description
For many months, we here at GFJ HQ have been seeking ways to connect this beautiful community of kindred spirits we call Good Food Jobs. We dreamed. We schemed. We came up with big, hairy, audacious projects.
When we became overwhelmed by the big-ness of creating something from thin air, we looked back on our our newsletters for words of advice: ”done is better than perfect,” “shut up and try”... Okay, we got the hint. And we decided to turn the challenge of creating real-world connection into a challenge for individuals to build community, one participant at a time.
We’re unveiling the first ever GFJ Challenge to bring people together using the power of shared commitment and personal growth.
The mission of the GFJ Challenge is to offer guided and community-supported social, emotional, and physical challenges to individual users. Participating in a challenge will provide access to group resources, unlocking personal potential and strengthening commitment and involvement in the GFJ community.
Each season, we’ll roll out a new challenge related to many of the themes you’ve heard us talk about over the years: scratch-cooking, engagement with the natural world, hand-written communication, living the life you want to live.
We’ll invite people to commit to each Challenge for 30 days and share tips, photos, recipes, stories, resources, and struggles within a discussion group.
This month, we’re doing a test run, and we’re seeking 6 people to help us. The challenge is called the Home Cooking Cleanse, and will run from August 28 - September 26. If you’re looking for something to do in the coming weeks, get in touch soon – the deadline is August 24th. See below for more details.
