Kitchen Mentor - Santa Rosa
ORGANIZATION: Ceres Community Project
Please visit the new page to apply.
Ceres Community Project is looking for adult volunteers who are passionate about cooking and working with youth.
Preferred experience: teaching young adults; commercial kitchen work and whole food cooking. Positive attitude and ability to remain calm under pressure is essential. If you love to cook, enjoy mentoring teens and want to give some of your precious time to a heart centered organization, Ceres may be for you!
Part of our mission is involving young people as volunteer gardeners and chefs, giving them direct, hands-on experience working in a professional kitchen growing and cooking fresh, organic foods. We see young people as intelligent, responsible, capable, creative and caring, and must be central participants in shaping our collective future. If this speaks to you, then this may be the perfect place to donate your precious time and talents!
Kitchen hours are from 3:00pm until 6:30pm on Monday through Thursday year round. We ask that you have a keen interest in mentoring teens.
Ceres Community Project provides nourishing organic meals lovingly prepared by local teens and adult volunteers for people with serious illness like cancer.
Volunteering at Ceres is a fun, rewarding and safe way to make sure those who are too ill to shop and cook for themselves are nourished and feel cared for.

Description
Ceres Community Project began in a church kitchen in March 2007 with a simple idea: teach teens about cooking and eating healthy food by having them serve as volunteer chefs preparing nourishing meals for people dealing with cancer. Over the past 14 years we've learned that the benefits for both teens and the clients they cook for are profound and long-lasting. Today, Ceres operates two kitchens in Sonoma County and one third in neighboring Marin, all in California. Ceres mission is to build healthy communities by restoring whole, local and organic food to its place as the foundation of health, and by creating heart-centered ways for people to connect themselves, others and the earth.
