Welcome MAP's new Farmhouse Coordinator, Addison!

 Help us welcome Addison, MAP's new 
Farmhouse Coordinator & AmeriCorps VISTA member!

Over the next year, Addison (she/her) will be focusing on how MAP will be able to better utilize the Farmhouse as a vibrant community space for food education along with creating partnerships to establish a more food-secure city. She will be helping MAP Staff establish a calendar of events, virtual or in person, coordinating the use and future rental of all Farmhouse spaces, and helping us create best practices for volunteer opportunities. Addison is an integral addition to the team and we are so excited to have her here!

Before MAP, Addison earned her BA in History and Psychology from SUNY Buffalo in 2019. During her undergraduate career she studied abroad at Akita International University in Akita, Japan. She has worked as a research intern for the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Atlanta, Georgia, and as a museum education intern at the Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona. This is Addison’s second year of AmeriCorps service. She spent her first term in Hood River, Oregon as an Outreach Coordinator at a local history museum. In her spare time Addison enjoys baking, soapmaking and exploring historic sites around Buffalo.
