A collaborative spirit--you're a team player who loves to share ideas and support others.

A passion for agriculture and education (experience in the ag industry or non-profit sector is a bonus!).

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

Make a difference--help shape the future of agriculture education in Manitoba.
Work in a fun, supportive, and purpose-driven environment.
Opportunity to grow your skills and take ownership of creative projects.
A team that values hard work, big ideas, and the occasional coffee mug-washing session!
