Teaching students opportunity to expand their education experience

Phillip Cooke

- I am contacting you in regard to a program for which I am currently beginning volunteer recruitment. CookShop Classroom is a school-based food and nutrition-education program run by the Food Bank For New York City designed to encourage children to eat more wholesome foods, especially vegetables, whole grains, legumes and fruit. The curriculum materials, which are designed for pre-k to second grade, focus on classroom cooking experiences and allow children to explore how plants grow and where food comes from.

Volunteers are needed to assist teachers in structuring and leading workshops that are held once a week between the hours of 9:30am and 3pm for the spring semester (January–May) in schools throughout the five boroughs.

In past years, we at CookShop have found teaching students, particularly those with a focus in early childhood, to be excellent volunteers. As this school year begins, I would like to extend the opportunity for your students to expand their education experience while providing a valuable service to the children of New York City.

The volunteer application can be found here:

It would be much appreciated if you were able to pass this on to your students. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you,
