Green Space Director, Historic Fair Hill

Posted by Historic Fair Hill on May 2, 2023

Historic Fair Hill is a nonprofit that stewards a 5 acre site, supports community revitalization projects, and serves as a school partner in the School District of Philadelphia. We are seeking a passionate and community-driven director to promote green spaces and to manage and coordinate programming at our historic Quaker burial ground and arboretum in Fairhill, North Philadelphia.

The peacemaking green space serves as an outdoor classroom with trips related to environmental education, women’s rights history, and the abolition of slavery. GROW Healthy is Historic Fair Hill’s community gardening, greening, and fresh food initiative. The program includes 3 community gardens, 2 school gardens, a summer intern program, a seasonal farm stand, health & wellness workshops, tree planting, and a variety of educational and celebratory community events.

This is a new position, building off of the great work that part time staff and volunteers have done. This is an opportunity to strengthen an established program and make it more sustainable. The Green Space Director will report to the Executive Director and for the first several months will be supported by our master gardener, who has been managing the grounds.
