Call for Volunteers

60 Volunteer Workshop Coordinators needed for Eat In Ontario!

FoodShare Toronto is looking for volunteer workshop facilitators to assist in running an event on Friday September 30th, called Eat-In Ontario in Queen's Park.

Eat-In Ontario will gather over 500 students from JK to Grade 12 to participate in a series of four curriculum-linked workshops covering gardening, soil and composting, tasting, food and the environment and so much more. These FoodShare-designed workshops will be led by volunteer facilitators and a number of Food Literacy education partners, providing a rich and delicious tapestry of experience for all students in a safe and fun-filled environment.

Qualifications:
• Experience working with children/students in an educational environment
• Experience executing time-sensitive workshop materials
• Fun, enthusiastic and positive attitude
• Knowledge of the food system and an interest in reinventing food education in Ontario
• Educational qualifications and additional languages considered an asset, but not necessary.

Please submit a brief statement of interest and your resume outlining relevant experience to Brooke Ziebell at brooke@foodshare.net. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted, however, we thank all applicants for their interest in Eat-In Ontario. Selected facilitators will be asked to attend 1-2 training sessions. Lunch will be provided on the day of the event.
