The Center for Great Neighborhoods is now accepting applications for the next class of FreshLo Fellows.
The FreshLo Initiative, funded by The Kresge Foundation, is an effort to promote the use of fresh, local food as a platform for neighborhood revitalization within Covington’s Westside Neighborhood. Former FreshLo projects range from growing local produce and urban agriculture to educating neighborhood youth about health food choices and celebrating the neighborhood’s eclectic cultural cuisine.
What is the FreshLo Fellowship opportunity?
A seven-week project management opportunity for four Covington community members.
Classes will take place Tuesday and Wednesday evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (6 hours/week). The fellowship pays $13/hr and will take place at The Center for Great Neighborhoods (321 W. MLK Blvd, Covington, KY).
The fellowship will start on March 12, 2019. The final week of the fellowship requires an event or activity for the community hosted by the FreshLo Fellows.
Fellows will have the opportunity to manage a collective budget of $800 to implement their event or activity.
