Marketing Intern - Summer 2027

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

Food Well Alliance (FWA) is a collaborative network of local leaders working together to build equitable and thriving community gardens, urban farms, and orchards across metro Atlanta. FWA’s mission is to provide resources and support to local growers to connect and build healthier communities. Our vision is an Atlanta that is locally grown and community connected.

FWA was founded in 2015 when Jim Kennedy, chair of Cox Enterprises, and Bill Bolling, founder of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, had an idea to build healthier communities across metro Atlanta by connecting and supporting members of our local food movement. Since 2015, we have supported more than 500 gardens, farms and orchards in Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Clayton counties. We advance our mission in three key ways:

  1. Grower Resources. We provide essential tools for success. That can be anything from technical assistance to training, tractor support, grants, labor teams, volunteers, compost, seedlings, and more.

  2. Local Food System Planning - Each year, we work with the Atlanta Regional Commission, to bring together policymakers, residents, growers, and community leaders to plan for the future of locally grown food in selected cities.

  3. Community Education – We offer learning experiences for all ages and skill levels—from outdoor events to volunteer opportunities, and workshops on topics like soil health, gardening and composting.
