Slow Food East Bay is expanding our core leadership team!
We’re looking for a few passionate and dedicated individuals to serve on a collaborative leadership team and engage with the tremendous work happening in our local food community as a Slow Food ambassador.
Ideal candidates have the curiosity to question the food system and a dedication to making it better. They come with any of a wide range of strengths and interests—from fundraising to social media prowess to knife skills—and are looking for a platform from which to feature them. They value communication, are reliable, flexible in ambiguous settings and willing to roll up their sleeves and do the hands-on work that makes Slow Food a healthy organization and a good partner, collaborator and educator.
Who Are We?
As the 100% volunteer-run local nonprofit chapter of the global Slow Food movement committed to Good, Clean and Fair Food for All, our mission is to champion the movement’s broader principles and tailor them to serve the diverse cultural, racial and geographic representations of the East Bay community. We serve as a resource for those interested in deepening their connection to the food system and translating their knowledge into action.
Our projects range from our Cultural Food Traditions Project dinners to the 2022 Bean Feed to bimonthly themed potlucks and just recently a dive into educating both consumers and chefs about our local seafood ecosystem. We want to address important conversations about sustainability and fairness in our food system by leading with joy — eating delicious food and gathering together with our community.
We believe that with this basis we can conquer the work of making the path of our food from seed, soil and water to our plates better!
