City Slicker Farms Community Council Application

City Slicker Farms is seeking interested applicants for our CSF (City Slicker Farms) Community Council. We seek applicants who live, worship, or work in the Oakland and are interested in supporting the mission of City Slicker Farms and making sure that our programs, events, structures and strategies represent the diversity and honor the history of Oakland. This is a community-based council hat serves as the voice of the community and as partners with City Slicker Farms staff and board.

The responsibilities of the Community Council include:
- agree to a two-year commitment
- attend six meetings per year (every other month)
- volunteer an average of 4 hours per month (includes meetings)
- be available for 4-5 phones calls each year from staff and board seeking advice and feedback
- contribute your expertise and thinking to the current and future work of CSF
 - help identify and outreach to potential program partners and garden sites
- outreach to the community to share updated and solicit feedback
- support events
- help ensure that our programs, events and organizational structures and systems are diverse, equitable and inclusive

In return, City Slicker Farms promises you:
- a delicious meal six times a year and meeting that start and end on time
- an appreciation of your time and commitment not to abuse your time or generosity
- membership into the Garden Program which includes free plants and compost during your term on the Council (current garden members will also receive additional gardening supplies)

We are looking for members to be hands-on, represent the diversity of the East Bay, be inclusive, be culturally sensitive, work well in a team, and care about the history, health wellbeing, resiliency, and future of all of our community members. In addition, Community Council members will communicate with other members in a timely manner, complete specific work tasks on time, and be available for phone consultations as needed. Unlike the Board of Directors, this Farm Park Council will have no fiduciary responsibility and their advice is non-binding.
