Slow Food East Bay is expanding our core leadership team. We are a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)3 nonprofit, the local chapter of the global Slow Food movement committed to Good, Clean and Fair Food for All. Our mission is to champion the movement’s broader principles and tailor them to serve the diverse cultural, racial and geographic representations of the East Bay community. We serve as a resource for those interested in deepening their connection to the food system and translating their knowledge into action. We’re looking for a few passionate and dedicated individuals to serve on a collaborative leadership team and engage with the tremendous work happening in our local food community as a Slow Food ambassador. It is particularly important that our team reflects the diversity of the Bay Area, so we welcome all voices and experience levels to apply! We’re interested in hearing from anyone wanting to work with us, and in this round of Team recruitment are specifically looking for those with these skill sets or interests: Administration/Secretary/Non Profit Operations Membership Engagement Grants & Fundraising Website & Public Event Calendar Management Feel free to email us for more specific role descriptions and responsibilities. Ideal candidates have the curiosity to question the food system and the dedication to making it better. They come with any of a wide range of strengths and interests-from fundraising to social media prowess to knife skills-and are looking for a platform from which to feature them. They value communication, are reliable, flexible in ambiguous settings and willing to roll up their sleeves and do the hands-on work that makes Slow Food a healthy organization and a good partner, collaborator and educator. Our projects range from our Cultural Food Traditions Project dinners to the 2022 Bean Feed and Miso Project to bimonthly themed potlucks and just recently a dive into educating both consumers and chefs about our local seafood system. We want to address important conversations about sustainability and fairness in our food system by leading with joy - eating delicious food and gathering together with our community. We believe that with this basis, we can conquer the work of making the path of our food from seed, soil and water to our plates better. As part of chapter leadership, you have the opportunity to build on past projects and relationships, explore your food system passions and Slow Food USA’s campaigns like the Ark of Taste, Slow Meat, Cooks’ Alliance, Plant a Seed and Slow Fish. And you get to have fun, eat well, and spread the Slow Food goodness!
