How To Volunteer

Page address: http://www.mnsu.edu/activities/kitchen/volunteer.html

Students are the backbone and the driving force behind every Campus Kitchen.

campus kitchen volunteers

Their efforts in the kitchen, on delivery, and everywhere in between make The Campus Kitchen at Minnesota State University, what it is. Students who work with Campus Kitchen are not just volunteers; they are seen as an integral part of the organization.

To become a Campus Kitchen volunteer, you must attend a volunteer training.  Trainings are listed below the schedule.

More trainings to come!  Trainings dates and times are also subject to change.

There are no trainings the last 3 weeks of the semester.

These volunteer sessions are for either individuals or a group.

If you would like us to train your entire organization, we can set up a time where to attend your organization's meeting or the entire group could come to a training session. If you would like to set up a time to train your organization please email us at samantha.eckerson@mnsu.edu

Once you attend training you are officially a volunteer!

You would then be able to volunteer in the kitchen or delivering as often as you'd like. We do not have a sign up sheet - just come when you can!!!  Most students love it so much that they pick the shift per week that they come to and attend that shift every week.  However, just by coming once it will be an eye opening experience and you will be making a difference!!

The cooking and delivering schedule is on the Operations Schedule page.

Thank you for your interest in Campus Kitchen. Please come to Community Engagement Office/Student Activities CSU 173 for your training time.  If one of these times doesn't work for you, please email me and we can try to work something out!
