Looking for a way to connect with the Spokane community-at-large? Love cooking and food? Second Harvest's Nutrition Education team is seeking Nutrition Ambassador volunteers to help expand both our on-site cooking classes and outbound programs including the mobile market and we would love for you to join!
What is a Nutrition Ambassador? Nutrition Ambassadors are volunteers trained by Second Harvest staff to facilitate programs focused on cooking demonstrations, teaching nutritional guidelines, reading nutrition labels, emphasizing fruit and vegetable consumption, reduction in consumption of sugary foods, and increased physical activity. Programming is delivered on-site in The Kitchen at Second Harvest and at off-site locations as needed, including mobile markets. Nutrition Ambassadors will have a weekly, biweekly, or monthly ongoing commitment (depending on availability and site needs) with one or more of our cooking classes or mobile market distributions. Shifts are about 3-4 hours long.
Where do Nutrition Ambassadors go? The Nutrition Education team facilitates cooking demonstrations in many of our partner food banks, at mobile market distributions, and at other community partner locations. Many opportunities are also available to help with on-site class support in The Kitchen at Second Harvest.
Next Steps: Complete our online Nutrition Ambassador Application to get connected to future volunteer opportunities. After completing the survey you will be contacted by a member of the Nutrition Education team. We will review your specific skills and interests and which opportunities would be the best fit for you.
