Berkeley Farmers’ Markets
Our Team
Meet the people who make it happen — a savvy, experienced, and tenacious team working across food access, recycling, climate, youth development, and sustainable living.
The people behind the mission
We believe that leadership starts right here in our office.
The Ecology Center's work is powered by a dedicated team of organizers, educators, market managers, recycling operators, policy advocates, and community builders. From running Berkeley's curbside recycling trucks to managing weekly farmers' markets to training the next generation of environmental leaders, our staff brings deep expertise and a shared commitment to environmental justice.
We're a small team with outsized impact — operating direct community services while advancing local, state, and national policy. If you're interested in joining us, visit our careers page.
