Eat Local Month - Volunteers Needed
August & September
We have a lot of events leading up to and during Eat Local Month (September) and will need a lot of volunteer help. Hang out at the Fair or the Farmers Market, enjoy a downtown concert and much more... Lots more details here
Some On-going needs we often have:
Graphics Intern
We are looking for someone with Adobe In Design experience to help produce event posters & handbills, assist with publication production (Member Directory, Coupon Book, Local Food & Farm Finder) and other program materials as needed. Ideally this person would work in our office. We have a strong brand so are looking for someone willing to gain experience in producing materials, but not necessarily creating a new look for those materials. If you are interested please e-mail april@sconnect.org.
Online Video Intern/Volunteers
We are looking for someone who is willing to edit down video footage from our events and produce short clips for us to use in advertising or recapping the event on our website. If you are interested please contact april@sconnect.org.
Event Interns
One of our most common volunteer/intern opportunities is helping to plan and prep our big events. Some of these include: Spring Business Conference (winter/spring), Home & Landscape Tour (spring/summer), and Eat Local Week/Kindred Spirits (summer/fall). We also have smaller Green Building tours & workshops, Farmer/Chef tours & workshops, and Sustainable Business Practices workshops throughout the year. Ideally someone will be in our office two days per week for 2-4 hours each time and will be able to see the event through from the initial planning stages through to the actual event. If you are interested please e-mail april@sconnect.org with the event/program you are most interested in and any relevant experience.
Data Entry Assistance
We are often in need of people that can come into the office periodically to help with data entry. Specific projects include: inputting Farm Map data, updating Membership info, entering Event Attendance as well as other one time projects.
