Southern Black Farmers Community-Led Fund

Southern Black Farmers Community-Led Fund is seeking applicants for part-time contract roles as Participatory Action Researchers (PARs) to support a multi-state research and narrative-shift initiative. This participatory action research project, rooted in the legacy of Black land stewardship, Agroecology, and community self-determination, centers the leadership, stories, and solutions of Black rural communities and farmers in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. Through interviews, focus groups, photovoice, and collaborative analysis, PARs will help document how Black farmers and rural residents experience climate change, navigate systemic disinvestment, and uphold culturally rooted agroecological practices. Each PAR is required to successfully complete PAR training before facilitating interviews. At the conclusion of training each PAR will be compensated $275 for time spent in training. Each PAR is expected to complete a maximum of 30 interviews. Compensation for this position is $1,500 total. Learn more and apply here.
