Food is health. Food is medicine.

Food is a human right.

DC Greens advances health equity by building a just and resilient food system. Founded in 2009, we are a multiracial organization that focuses on creating cross-sector collaborations, advancing equitable, city-wide policy solutions, and working in solidarity with marginalized communities experiencing poverty and food insecurity.

Our vision is a capital city in which health equity is a central value, healthy food is a human right, and all residents have the resources to shape and control policies and programs for their own communities.

A Message from our Board Co-Chairs, Dominique Hazzard and Tomi Ogundimu:

On behalf of the DC Greens Board of Directors, we are thrilled to share that the organization has launched a search for our next Executive Director. We are seeking a collaborative leader with a strategic mind and a passion for food access and health equity.

DC Greens is poised to take The Well, the Produce Rx program, and advocacy for Food Is Medicine to new levels of impact. And we know that we cannot create systemic change without you: our partners, neighbors, participants, and supporters. That’s why we are asking for your help in finding the best leader for this organization.

The Board of Directors has organized a Search Committee to conduct a local and national search. Together with the leadership team at DC Greens, we have designed an inclusive search process which will include soliciting feedback about select candidates from key internal and external stakeholders. We look forward to your continued partnership as the search process progresses.

For now, we ask that you share this job announcement with your networks. You could be the one who shares this opportunity with our next Executive Director!

As always, thank you for supporting DC Greens.
