This last week I met with the local community food bank to talk about volunteer opportunities, which was amazing! I'm going to try and help out with one of their programs that focuses on teaching kids about food and nutrition. Ill be going to a few after school programs and the farmers market to help out with cooking demos and kid wrangling in. Which I'm excited about! Now I have to get my fingerprint clearance card/background check done, which I'm not excited about because I hear it takes some time... Eh, I can wait if I must.
While I was talking with them there however, I was realizing I want to play a bigger role in taking action in my community, especially where food is concerned. (One of these days I'll have to write a post and put up a series of pictures cataloging my morphing into a smaller, healthier person because of my food choices. Which change has given me so much passion for whole food and healthy eating)
Anywho, tonight I was looking at a newsletter I got from the co-op here in town, which I am a proud member of, and saw there was a fun, eat local challenge on their website. I decided to look up the blog posts they had, since I realized the challenge happened while I was in Maine, and see what they had to say there at www.foodconspiracy.coop
It was a cool challenge, Im sad I missed out on it, but it was a fun read. The posts were written by their front end manager, a cute guy named Dick I see when I go shopping, about his experience of eating local for a month. After reading the posts, I decided to look around the website... I saw an "Employment Opportunity" tab...
Should I?
Yup I should.
They have a part time position for an outreach and education coordinator!
People, I would LOVE that! Im also pretty qualified for such a position if I do say so myself. So, yeah, I um, updated my résumé and will be shipping it off with a cover letter via the World Wide Web tomorrow and praying that if its the right fit for me and I'm the right fit for it, everything will work out and I'll get to work with people again, teaching about a subject I am freakishly passionate about!
Yay!!
