Are you passionate about fighting hunger and educating people about food justice? Support our cooking and nutrition education classes as a Class Assistant!
Adult & Family Education, a Community Food Education (CFE) program at Solid Ground, offers cooking and nutrition classes focused on maximizing food resources to community members in low-income areas. We provide hands-on education, combining cooking, nutrition, menu planning, budgeting, kitchen safety, and sanitation.
Each class is supported by volunteer Class Assistants who work alongside a staff coordinator to facilitate fun, lively, and informative classes for participants. Volunteers work with the participants on educational activities and preparing a shared meal.
Classes meet once a week for 3-6 weeks. Additionally, we often have one-time cooking classes that you’ll be able to sign up for. We’re looking for volunteers who are interested and able to commit to actively volunteering in classes for one year. No professional experience needed; training provided.
To apply: Interested in volunteering or learning more about the opportunity? Click "I Want To Help" and we'll reach out to you within 3-5 business days with next steps.
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color), and people with the lived experience of food insecurity are strongly encouraged to volunteer.

Mission Statement
Our mission... Solid Ground works to end poverty and undo racism and other oppressions that are root causes of poverty. Our vision... Solid Ground believes our community can move beyond poverty and oppression to a place where all people have access to quality housing, nutritious food, equal justice and opportunities to thrive. Our values... Solid Ground is committed to working with compassion, integrity, accountability, creativity and an anti-oppression approach to end homelessness, hunger, inequality and other barriers to social justice. We value collaboration and leadership from the communities we serve.
Description
Our history...
Solid Ground was founded in 1974 by community leaders and concerned citizens of one of Seattle's then most economically devastated neighborhoods, Fremont. Originally called the Fremont Public Association, our services - emergency food bank, clothing bank, and employment program - reflected the desperate needs and determined response of a mobilized and committed neighborhood.
Solid Ground today...
As the scope and severity of homelessness and poverty have increased over the years, so too have our reach to our greater community and our range of services. Now based in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, our 30 programs and services help more than 60,000 households each year overcome poverty and build better futures throughout King County and beyond.
