The CCFE (theccfe.org) is a new national charity with a mission to motivate conscious decisions that are good both for people and the planet. Our aim is to elevate and amplify the voices that guide the shift towards locally-connected food networks. Think of us as matchmakers for the food world.

Network weavers do this by helping people identify their interests and challenges, connecting people strategically where there’s potential for mutual benefit, and serving as a catalyst for self-organizing groups.” (June Holley)

In this role the Network Weaver will lead the planning and execution of events and initiatives designed to actively listen, foster connections, and catalyze co-ordinated action amongst motivated collaborators.

A determined doer that understands the complexity of food system change, the Network Weaver will be an important ambassador of the CCFE’s conviction for positive engagement, demonstrating through their every action belief in the idea that “Many small people, in many small places, do many small things, that can alter the face of the world.” (Eduardo Galeano)
