VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
FOOD TEAM
Our food team makes deliciousness happen without harm to health or Earth. We craft delightful samples and meals that demonstrate possibility. If you would enjoy joining with others to make tasty, healthy food, the food team might be a great fit for your gifts!
EAT WELL: EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE
Our Eat Well program offers nutrition education and cooking classes to K–12 students. We are building a team of volunteer facilitators and helpers to be able to reach as many young people as possible. You can help us steer children and teens towards healthy, sustainable eating and a lifetime of good health.
EVENT TEAM
Eat for the Earth participates in dozens of events every year. At small classes, huge festivals, and everything in between, we are there to educate, inspire, and motivate change. Making this magic happen requires help with such things as planning, preparations, set up, connecting with event attendees, food service, photography, clean up, and more. If you get excited about the possibility of inspiring people to make a change that benefits their health and the Earth, there is a place for you on Eat for the Earth’s event team!
MEDICAL TEAM
A central feature of Eat for Earth’s immersion programs, Salud en tu Plato and Community Rx, is biometric tests administered to participants at the beginning and end of each round of the program. These assessments enable participants to see improvement in their numbers, and motivate them to continue eating healthfully after the program ends. If you are a nurse, medical assistant, phlebotomist, or other healthcare professional, we would love you to join our medical team! Your skilled contribution can empower participants to take control of their health.
REMOTE OPPORTUNITIES
Would you like to research and write content about the health and environmental benefits of plant-based diets? Would you enjoy helping Eat for the Earth build an online presence? Do you have grantwriting skills that you would like to lend to our cause? Would you enjoy helping with volunteer recruitment and placement? These and many other contributions can be made remotely.
VOLUNTEER VOICES
As a registered nurse with over 40 years of experience, I support Eat for the Earth’s evidence‑based, plant‑forward approach to improving health and protecting the climate. My own cholesterol dropped 40 points and my food costs fell by $150–$200 a month. Its community model promotes lasting wellbeing for people and the planet.
I love to support organizations such as Eat for the Earth which are contributing towards a healthier planet in every way. This means I am also inspired, in general, to contribute towards reduction of the carbon imprint on our beautiful planet. The last most important reason to me is to contribute towards reducing or eliminating suffering of the animals and all of the living beings. I think these values unite all of us Eat for the Earth volunteers. May all living beings be happy and may all living beings be safe.
