Applying for a Training Class
As part of the application process, we ask potential trainees to attend one of the online information sessions which are posted above or view the recording of a session. There is also a brief, friendly interview before acceptance to make sure your expectations are met and questions are answered.
There is a fee to cover our costs. In 2024 it was $190, but the price may vary. It is due by January after you are accepted into the class.
If you are on our email list, we will notify you when the applications are available. We also post that on our Facebook page.
FAQ
Our organization is run by completely volunteers dedicated to safe food preservation practices. We're always interested in finding new members! While we offer public workshops throughout the year, we only offer the training for new volunteers every other year. We encourage you to attend our workshops, but if you have questions on joining us, most will be answered here. Contact us if you have more questions at immg@ucanr.edu.
