Volunteer with Us!
Have you been wanting to experience our work up close and personal?
We are excited to grow relationships with volunteers eager to share their expertise in and passion for our mission! The opportunities to get involved with our work are plenty, and there is always space for us to get innovative together.
  • Event Support
    Every year, we host a series of collaboration dinners with notable chefs and businesses around Chicago. These dinners take a village to make a hit, and we excitedly welcome any event planning or running support.
  • Fundraising
    Do you have an expert eye for development strategy and execution? We depend on vigorous fundraising efforts to keep our programming affordable and accessible for our program partners and youth.
  • Spreading the Word
    Do you light up when you bring people and causes together? Our mission grows as our community does. Supporters of our work are regularly recruiting other values-aligned individuals into our fold, and we are always looking for ways to do this more effectively.
  • In the Garden
    Do you have a special interest in or relationship to growing and nurturing food? Our work in the classroom is inexplicably tied to our work in the garden, where we uplift our belief in nurturing youth’s relationships with the local resources around them.
  • In the Kitchen
    Do you feel most at peace and inspired when you’re in a kitchen? We strive to expose our youth to new tools, techniques, or mindsets they can bring to their relationship with food. This relies on a combination of time spent in the kitchen, as well as with folks in their community committed to enriching the lives of themselves and others through food.
  • In the Classroom
    Do you love inspiring and encouraging budding thinkers to become their fullest selves? Our work in the classroom is ground zero for the transformation galvanized in our students. When our youth experience positive adult figures in our programming , the fruits of our mission can last a lifetime.
