We are now accepting applications for our 2019 Summer Internships, and want you to be part of our dynamic team! Help us work towards creating a fairer, more equitable local food system that benefits all!
2019 Summer Internship #1: Nutrition and Culinary Education Outreach Internship
The Nutrition Education Intern will assist Rolling Harvest’s Nutrition and Culinary Education Outreach Team with fresh produce distribution, identification, preparation and healthy cooking advice, working within the financial and housing constraints of the food pantry recipients. You will help conduct cooking demos, recipe creation, working directly with food pantry recipient families and pantry volunteers. Other duties will include occasional weekly produce pickups from our partner farmers and food producers, and some gleaning (harvesting). Additional nutrition and cooking outreach will be arranged at Fresh Connect free mobile farm markets, low-income senior housing, senior community centers, summer camps, health clinics and area shelters, schedule TBD. Must be able to lift 35 pounds.
This is an 11-week college summer break internship, based on the candidate’s academic schedule and prior family vacation commitments. 20 hours per week, with all attempts made by Rolling Harvest to accommodate any other part-time job the candidate may be committed to for evenings and late afternoons. $1800 stipend offered either as a non-taxable college grant, or as weekly taxable income. The ideal candidate will bring enthusiasm, flexibility, compassion and respect for the at-risk, food-insecure population we are helping. Must have own vehicle. Fuel costs reimbursed. Spanish speaking a plus.
2019 Summer Internship #2: General Internship
Working alongside many dedicated Rolling Harvest volunteers, the intern will have responsibilities that cover many aspects of operating a small non-profit organization. Responsibilities will include weekly produce pickups from our partner farmers and food producers, assisting with deliveries and distribution of healthy, locally-grown fresh produce that most of our food pantry, shelter and low-income seniors housing resident recipients cannot otherwise afford to incorporate into their daily diets, documentation and weekly gleaning (harvesting). Must be able to lift 35 pounds.
