Volunteer with City Harvest!
Interested in sharing tips and skills on healthy eating with fellow New Yorkers? City Harvest is looking for volunteers to help in
our nutrition education programs. You can donate your time to help people like Lisa Rivera, who was a participant in City Harvest’s Nutrition Education program and is now a volunteer.
Check out her story!
Volunteer Opportunities:
-
Prepare a healthy recipe at a live
Cooking Demonstration!
-
Take community members through the aisles of their community supermarket and explain affordable, healthy shopping by leading a
Shopping Matters Workshop!
-
Participate in Nutrition Education Courses where volunteers teach the health benefits and value of produce, along with how to purchase, store and prepare it!
City Harvest programs are conducted in our Healthy Neighborhoods
(South Bronx; Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Washington Heights-Inwood, North West Queens, and the North Shore of Staten Island) and are held mostly
Monday-Friday between the hours of 11AM-8PM.
To become a volunteer, you are required to attend an orientation at the City Harvest office located at 6 East 32nd Street (between 5th and Madison Avenues).

In the spirit of the New Year, I want to share what our volunteers and partners like you helped us achieve in 2012. Through
the dedication of City Harvest volunteer chefs, nutritionists, and class managers we were able to:
v
Complete
73 healthy cooking and nutrition education courses!
v
Conduct 109 Cooking Demonstrations
at our Mobile Markets and local supermarkets!
v
Lead
46 interactive Shopping
Workshops (over 4 times the number of workshops completed in 2011)!
v
Train preschool teachers to administer nutrition education lessons to their students!

Though these accomplishments are tremendous, we need even more help from our amazing volunteers in 2013. We are increasing all of our programs and there are plenty of fantastic opportunities
for current and new volunteers to promote healthy and affordable eating skills to fellow New Yorkers.
