Kitchen Commons matches kitchen resources with community need, making it affordable and practical to cook healthy food, putting the dream of a food business in reach of low-income entrepreneurs, and advocating for food justice. We envision a network of community kitchens throughout the metro area where neighbors gather to share food, skills and tools, nurture business start-ups, and build community.
 
We are seeking two enthusiastic individuals to join our team: an Events/Marketing Intern and a Volunteer Coordinator intern.
