Show your true Summer-Green colors! Volunteer opportunities in our area are unlimited – find out where you fit in or create your own.

Docents, committee members, speakers, tour guides, gardeners, mentors, grant writers, laborers, editors, teachers, writers, cooks, artists…

We really need kitchen volunteers! The meal is a central part of CHTE and you can have the chance to cook with some of Nevada County’s local food superstars! Learn new recipes, gain new skills and see first hand what it takes to cook for 1000 people!

No matter what your talents and passions might be, you have something important to share with your community. From behind a desk, in your kitchen, or with your hands in the dirt…you too can be a local food activist.

Please email Shan Kendall at daveshanken@juno.com to sign up for volunteer positions.
