Master
Food Preserver
Volunteer
Training Program
Purpose:
The University of Idaho Cooperative Extension
System offers the Master Food Preserver Program to teach
individuals how to safely preserve a variety of food
products. Participants learn how to produce high quality
preserved foods. After completion of the coursework,
participants provide 30 hours of volunteer service to provide
reliable, research-based food preservation information to others
in their community.
Who Can Apply?
Anyone with an interest in food
preservation can apply. Individuals with little or no
previous food preservation experience are welcome. Persons
must be interested not only in improving their knowledge and
skills, but also must be willing to share their knowledge with
others.
Commitment:
Participants are required to attend each
class and complete 30 hours of volunteer services in their
community. Service opportunities include answering
telephone calls, assisting with and/or teaching classes,
staffing a booth at Farmers' Markets and Fairs, and making
displays. The Extension Educator will help you decide how
to best use your talents as a volunteer.
