El Mercado Farmers Market

The mission of the Community Health Trust of Pajaro Valley (CHT) is to foster a healthy and equitable community for all in the Pajaro Valley through leadership in advocacy, collaboration, and wellness. CHT’s current strategic plan focuses on health equity and wellness through the promotion of activities, choices, and lifestyles that emphasize preventing illness and improving quality of life.

We are searching for reliable and trustworthy volunteers to support the El Mercado Farmers’ Market program. El Mercado is a weekly farmers’ market aiming to decrease food insecurity and improve access to health-promoting resources for Pajaro Valley families.

The volunteer’s responsibilities include completing tasks assigned by the supervisor (see below), upholding the organization’s values, and maintaining a high degree of professionalism with all stakeholders. Volunteers are expected to arrive on time, follow instructions, and improve the overall operations of the program. Volunteers should demonstrate active listening and problem-solving skills. Outstanding volunteers should be diligent, meticulous, and take pride in their work.
