The Carnation Farmers Market will celebrate its tenth year when it kicks off the season in the spring. This Tuesday afternoon market has a focus on local food, hosting many farmers and food artisans from the Snoqualmie Valley. This year, we have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to study statistics surrounding the market. This internship will involve implementing and conducting customer counts and customer surveys using accepted methodologies to help assess various aspects of the Carnation Farmers Market. The intern will be provided with training in these methodologies, and will assist in selecting appropriate survey questions. Data collected will be used to evaluate new vendor selection, target advertising opportunities, identify new and desired activities at the market, and assess the value of the market within the local community. The intern will work under the supervision of the market’s manager and will be a representative for the market during their internship.
Internship Duration
Though the Carnation Farmers Market will run from May 7th into November, the internship start and end dates are flexible. The selected intern will be asked to make a minimum 10-week commitment, and can expect to work between 10 and 15 hours per week. The intern will need to be available on Tuesdays to be present at the market. Outside of working at the market on Tuesdays, the intern schedule is flexible, as much of the work will be completed remotely. There is certainly a potential for extension of the internship length and/or a more intensive work schedule.
Location
The Carnation Farmers Market is held at the corner of Bird Street and Stossel Avenue Northeast in Carnation, Washington. You will need to provide your own transportation to the market itself. The intern will also work remotely and independently to fulfill some of their responsibilities.
