About Providence:

Providence is a small, vibrant, quirky city in the littlest state of the union. Though its scale and size make it easy to navigate and live in (often giving it a small-town feel), Providence has a rich and diverse culture, with many of the attributes often found in much larger cities. You can drive 20 minutes out of Providence and reach farms and orchards, rivers and ponds for paddling, and wooded state parks for hiking. Bike paths link Providence to many other areas of the state, and a 30–40-minute drive gets you to some of the best beaches and most beautiful coastline in New England. For longer jaunts to bigger cities, Boston is an hour, and New York City is 3 hours away. https://www.visitrhodeisland.com/

Named by CNN as America’s most artsy city, Providence is home to some great institutions and traditions in a number of areas:

* Artistic (Trinity Rep Theater, WaterFire, the RISD Museum, PVDFest, AS22o)

* Academic (Rhode Island School of Design, Brown University, Providence College)

* Cultural (Providence is home to many residents of Central/South American, West African, Southeast Asian, Caribbean, Portuguese, Italian, and Cape Verdean descent, with ethnic heritage festivals, feasts and celebrations all summer long and throughout the city)

* Culinary (Johnson & Wales Culinary School, incredible restaurants, food trucks and farmers markets)

* Urban Agriculture and Local Food (Southside Community Land Trust, Farm Fresh RI)

All applicants will be considered without regards to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, sex, marital or parental status, disability, gender identity or expression, age, or any other basis prohibited by law.

As an equal opportunity employer, Urban Greens Co-op Market strongly encourages individuals from traditionally underrepresented demographics to apply.
