Eat-In Ontario will gather over 500 students from JK to Grade 12 to participate in a series of four curriculum-linked workshops covering gardening, soil and composting, tasting, food and the environment and so much more. These FoodShare-designed workshops will be led by volunteer facilitators and a number of Food Literacy education partners, providing a rich and delicious tapestry of experience for all students in a safe and fun-filled environment.
Qualifications:
- Experience working with children/students in an educational environment
- Experience executing time-sensitive workshop materials
- Fun, enthusiastic and positive attitude
- Knowledge of the food system and an interest in reinventing food education in Ontario
- Educational qualifications and additional languages considered an asset, but not necessary.
Please submit a brief statement of interest and your resume outlining relevant experience to Brooke Ziebell at brooke@foodshare.net. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted; however, we thank all applicants for their interest in Eat-In Ontario. Selected facilitators will be asked to attend 1-2 training sessions. Lunch will be provided on the day of the event.
Please spread the word!
