Community Building: These events are more than just markets; they are gathering places where neighbors can connect, share stories, and support each other. Volunteering at the produce pop-ups fosters a strong sense of community and solidarity, strengthening the bonds between residents.

Sustainability: Promoting locally sourced produce supports local farmers and reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance food transportation. Your participation helps advocate for sustainable food systems and environmental stewardship.

Volunteers conduct 1-on-1 mock interviews with two to three youth using a list of prepared questions and an evaluation form, then offer feedback on what went well and what could be improved for next time. Volunteers will then be interviewed by youth about their jobs and career journeys.

Job Readiness Training includes up to 20 hours of training, in English or Spanish cohorts, covering professional communication skills, teamwork, time management, financial literacy, and interview skills. Youth create résumés and cover letters and practice communication skills in a series of mock interviews with supportive volunteer interviewers. Job readiness training provides youth with practical job preparedness skills, as well as the soft skills critical to workplace success. Youth earn a $125 stipend for completing the training and are eligible for Enterprise paid work experience programs.
