City Blossoms seeks applicants for two PAID fellowship positions

City Blossoms is a nonprofit dedicated to fostering healthy communities by developing creative, kid-driven green spaces. Washington DC is our home base where we test and innovate new resources, approaches, and techniques for designing and implementing urban gardens that are communal, educational, artistic expressions of their communities. Applying our unique brand of gardens, science, art, healthy living, and community building, we "blossom" in neighborhoods where kids, their families, and neighbors may not otherwise have access to green spaces.

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE City Blossoms’ strives to create a work environment and programs based on our values:

  • EQUITY. Strive to ensure access and inclusion for all

  • DIVERSITY. Celebrate everyone's strengths and experiences

  • RESPECT. Nurture compassion and consideration for all living things

  • COLLABORATION. Enhance our impact by joining together

  • CREATIVITY. Cultivate open-mindedness and experimentation

What You'll Do:

City Blossoms is hiring for TWO fellowship positions. City Blossoms fellowships are designed to support the professional development of young leaders interested in community and youth engagement, non-profit management, outdoor education and/or environmental and food justice. Fellows work side-by-side with City Blossoms educators, receive training and coaching and are provided the opportunities to lead their own projects within program areas.
