D.C. Central Kitchen is clearing counter space for summer interns. Campus Kitchen volunteers who are hungry for a professional development opportunity that also combats hunger, may serve as the perfect ingredients.
The positions offer $1000 stipend for college students not receiving credit, and requires generally 20 to 30 hours per week of work. View complete descriptions of internship opportunities here.
Communications Intern: Expand you portfolio of photography, design, and clips while working in a foodie-filled office. Find yourself with a camera lens flush up against a master chef’s preparation of lamb lollipops, interview veteran kitchen staff as they stir vats of pot pie filling, or design a program for a graduation of 20 culinary job training students. You could do all of this and more…

Take a shot like this (i.e. cozy up to Ted Allen, Eric Ripert, and Carla Hall) when culinary judges come for events at the kitchen.
Grantwriting Intern: Grants are what make D.C. Central Kitchen, and The Campus Kitchens Project, tick. Gain real experience, with a hand in each aspect of grant writing. This Intern will help maintain the master grant calendar, research grant prospects, and infuse fresh ideas into the DCCK grant process. This is ideal for a member of the Campus Kitchen with strong organizational skills (ahem… Campus Kitchen coordinators).
Outreach Intern: Every morning, through sunshine, rain, or snow, the First Helping Outreach team serves breakfast to homeless or at risk clients throughout the downtown area, and beyond. The outreach intern will help with breakfast service, connect with clients, and see first-hand how the DCCK outreach crew works with clients after the meal. In addition, interns will come away with two projects: an oral history project, documenting the relations of clients with the program over time, and a cross-comparison of cities and their outreach services.
Culinary Job Training Intern: Help underemployed men and women prepare for careers in the culinary industry. Develop resources for understanding hiring procedures at local food-service employers. Assist in planning events for alumni of the program. Help create cover letters and resumes, to prepare culinary students for interviews. Moreover, if your Campus Kitchen is interested in implementing a similar program, learn first-hand how to do so.
