Sustainable Food Program Specialist

Help Give & Surf launch our new Sustainable Food Program! We are looking for volunteers/interns to volunteer 3-6 months to help with this exciting new program. Sadly, the consumption of highly processed foods in the local indigenous communities is causing an increase in malnutrition, obesity, diabetes, and other illnesses. Furthermore, the cost of the these imported goods is increasing thus creating more financial strain on already impoverished communities.

Give & Surf's Sustainable Food Program has a multifaceted approach including building community and school gardens, teaching about the healthy foods that grow free & naturally in our own backyards, and providing various workshops and seminars on nutrition, cooking, and sustainable agriculture.

Qualifications:

We are looking for individuals who are passionate about community agriculture and healthy eating as well as have experience working or traveling in low-income and/or developing countries. Intermediate or advanced Spanish preferred. Must have a positive attitude and be willing to adapt! Volunteers will spend 20-25 hours per week helping with this program and the rest of the time is free to explore the beautiful islands of Bocas del Toro!
