Dear SWEethearts,
As we are nearing the academic school year, there have been some great internship opportunities that may be for you! Please read below for more information.

1. Kids in the Kitchen: Interns will teach bi-weekly cooking sessions of Kids in the Kitchen, a program at Paul's Place where students in the after-school program prepare and cook meals to take home to their families. Interns will be mentored by the KiK coordinator, they will participate in an orientation session in early September to learn about the program, and then each week will be expected to review and know the lesson and recipe so that they can guide the volunteers and students in the successful making of the recipe. KiK sessions happen twice a month, and interns should pick one day of the week and commit to coming to all of the sessions on that day. Interns should be responsible, have some experience teaching, have a passion for cooking and nutrition, and a desire to learn. Interns will be paid a $250 stipend; Paul's Place is happy to work with university students who want to receive credit for this internship. Prospective interns should submit a resume and cover letter detailing why they are interested in participating in the program. Interviews will be conducted in late August.
