Calling all Chefs! Give back to your community through cooking

Join us in our teaching kitchen! You'll have access to a professional kitchen and the opportunity to teach cooking classes to community members.

A Volunteer Chef with the Phoenix Food Hub is someone who not only has a passion for cooking but also a deep commitment to helping others. This role is a vital part of our nutrition education program, where the chef teaches valuable culinary skills to adults, kids, and families. By teaching them how to prepare nutritious, low-cost meals, the Volunteer Chef will empower participants to make healthier food choices and confidently cook delicious meals for themselves or their families, helping manage their overall health and well-being.

Volunteers will be responsible for:

• Developing healthy, low cost, easy to follow recipes to teach during classes
• Demonstrating and teaching meal preparation, nutrition, sanitation
• Preparing meals that can be shared with a group of people
• Following all food safety regulations while in the teaching kitchen
• Facilitate class discussion and answer participant questions to the best of their ability
• Cleaning the kitchen at the end of class
• Preparing a typed recipe and ingredient shopping list for participants to take with them at the end of class.
