Nutrition and Culinary Education Outreach Intern
Join us this summer to help share the bounty from our local farms, get nutritious foods to our neighbors in need, and teach healthy eating for life! Our 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 food pantry recipients.
- Cooking demos, and recipe and video creation, working directly with our dedicated Nutrition Education Directors and 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 Bucks free mobile farm markets, low-income senior housing locations, 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 summer vacation) 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. This is a paid internship with a $3,700 stipend, offered either as non‑taxable educational support (paid directly to the institution on behalf of the student) or as bi-weekly taxable installments.
The ideal candidate will bring enthusiasm, a commitment to social justice, compassion, and respect for the at-risk, food-insecure population we are helping. Must have own vehicle. Spanish speaking is a plus. Living within 20 minutes of the New-Hope/Lambertville area is a plus.
