Are you a passionate person who loves telling people why you chose to vegan and answer questions about veganism in general?
We're looking to build an AMAZING team of outgoing folks who are excited to table at a variety of events throughout the year to help become a resource and positive face for plant-based diets!

We welcome everyone and encourage you to explore the issues at your own pace. Our purpose is to:

Build, connect & network in the larger community
Provide education & outreach
Be a responsible, effective & transparent organization
Provide expertise & serve as a resource to the community on vegan and plant-based issues

About this volunteer position:
We are looking for patient, outgoing and positive vegans in the Portland/Vancouver area to come help inform and cheer folks on to trying veganism. We want folks who believe in our mission and goals and are excited to chat about all things vegan to a variety of crowds. Some of our tabling events are at general places, like a farmers market while others are at vegan or vegetarian specific events to help fellow vegans and vegan-curious folks learn about the resources and community we offer - like Veg Fest!
Some of our volunteers will need to be able to:
- lift 30-50 lbs
- stand for several hours at a time
- answer some questions over and over to new people
- be patient and positive to people not familiar with our goals.

Mission Statement
The mission of NW VEG is to educate and empower people to make vegetarian choices for a healthy, sustainable, and compassionate world.
Description
More and more people are choosing vegetarian foods for a variety of reasons. Going veg is not about deprivation, it's about celebration. It's a very powerful choice to respect your body, the earth and other beings. Every veg meal is a vote for compassion, for healthy, nutritious food, for clean air and water, biodiverse habitats and sustainable farming practices. There are lots of reasons to choose to eat veg! Everybody has a different one!
