2019 Interns: Emily Fithian (L) and Talya Adams (R)
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. Flexibility is a key component of this internship as our societal needs keep changing. Must be able to lift 35 pounds.
This is a 12-week college summer break internship (allowing for a one week vacation during the summer), 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 with a $250 gas card provided for the internship. Spanish speaking a plus.
Please send cover letter and resume by April 10, 2020 to CSnyder@RollingHarvest.org
