Member Duties : It is preferred that the member live in our dorm and carry out weekly evening dorm duty and monthly weekend duty, with the purpose of bringing awareness to the garden, integrating it into the culture and life of the resident students, and to more readily discern the needs of the students in both nutrition and cultural engagement surrounding sharing food. In "exchange" for free room and board, resident responsibilities include managing a dorm advisory group, chaperoning weekend events once a month, and providing supervision one evening each week. Daily charges include working with students in the garden, providing ongoing presence on campus, detailing needs of the garden to the Healthy Acadia liaison and Assistant Head of school, assisting any classes that visit the garden, supporting after school clubs who want to work in the garden, and coordinating with support of the Healthy Acadia partner to ensure food is delivered to the food pantry in an acceptable and timely manner.
