Volunteer

Are you interested in volunteering with Cooking Matters Maine? We are always looking for chefs, nutritionists and others who want to share their strength! Our classes meet for two hours a week for six weeks. We provide the curriculum, groceries and the recipes but we encourage you to bring your own personal style to class.
