–Immaculate, Green Plate Special community member–
We are excitedly planning summer camps for this year, and will be seeking volunteer support for each day of camp to help ensure everything runs smoothly! It may include supporting youth directly with cooking and garden projects, prep and cleanup, and more. If you or anyone in your networks is interested in seeing our youth programs in action and gaining skills working with our fabulous young people, please consider signing up! This is an opportunity for folks 18 and older, and we do a basic background check for any volunteers who work with youth.
The goal is to schedule two adult volunteers throughout camp weeks, Monday-Friday (9am-4pm), for all sessions from July 5-August 20.
Explore, learn, and contribute to youth health education in a meaningful and effective way.
Lead small groups of youth ages 9-14
Gain hands-on experience in gardening and cooking with youth
Teach and guide youth through student-centered experiential learning
Support programs by helping with food prep and doing dishes
Focus on inclusiveness, sustainability, and stewardship
We have morning (9am-1pm) and afternoon (1pm-4pm) shifts every day during camp week.
