Extension Master Food Volunteer Classes 2023 

If you enjoy food, love to cook, are interested in nutrition, and want to become a "Master" at your culinary skills and also help your community, then the Master Food Volunteer Program is for you!

 Volunteers will receive approximately 40 hours of training in food science, food preparation, food preservation, and food safety. Each day of training will be filled with demonstrations and hands-on learning. Once completed, volunteers will have the opportunity to share their skills and knowledge with their community.
