Food Collective spring membership is OPEN!

# data[].attributes.body
The Berkeley Student Food Collective is made up of students like you working to provide cheaper, more sustainable, and healthier food to the Berkeley community — and learning how to run a grocery co-op in the process.

They run a nonprofit, volunteer-run grocery co-op across from Lower Sproul that is student-governed with the best prices in town.

Your fellow students are keeping the momentum going after a dynamite past year where they received support from the Mayor of Berkeley, neighborhood Councilmember Lunaparra, Michael Pollan, both houses of Berkeley student government, and many more — and are hosting their biggest campus-wide events ever, are going up to Point Reyes for an overnight retreat, along with sooooo much more... you in?

If you're down to spend two hours a week this semester involved in food justice, organizing, education, marketing, accounting, or nonprofit management in a real-world business — or just want to be a part of a community growing a vision for a more people-centered food system in these turbulent times — sign up at http://foodcollective.org/apply.

Can't sign up this semester? Follow them on Instagram, Tiktok, or our listserv for updates, demos, and more!

Science Mentor Job Description ($20-26/hr depending on experience):
