Nanaimo Foodshare is looking for volunteers to assist on Tuesdays from 3PM to 6PM. The cooking camp classes run in sets of 3. Set #1 Oct. 1, 8, 15, Set #2: Oct. 22, 29 and Nov. 5. While it is optimal to have a volunteer assist over an entire set, assistance for even a couple of classes would be appreciated. Cooking class volunteers work alongside our education facilitators to assist kids ages 7 to 12 with activities that introduce cooking techniques, knife skills and delicious new flavour combos. In addition, they may also help with loading, cleaning up and unloading. Required skills are basic food preparation skills, such as how to follow a recipe, and being comfortable with demonstrating the safe use of knives and other kitchen tools. A passion for food and cooking and an interest in and experience working with youth would be helpful. An RCMP Criminal Record Check is required; this is not paid for by the agency. For more information, please contact Shauna by phone: 250-753-9393 or via email: shauna@nanamofoodshare.ca.
