Volunteer to Do Outreach at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo!
Join us at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo this May. We are looking for a few volunteers to run outreach games to help attendees learn about how plant-based diets reduce our environmental impact. We have several different shifts available. Your help is critical to a successful event.
What is the Eden Prairie Eco Expo?
At a 2025 Eco Fair.
The Expo is a program of the Rotary Club aiming to raise awareness of what actions people can take to positively impact the environment, whether it’s switching to an electric stove or eating a plant-based diet. You may want to plan time to walk around the expo before or after your volunteer shift. Highlights of the event include:
- Seed planting opportunity
- A cooking demo and samples from Wholesome Minnesota
- Lots of eco-friendly exhibitors
- Kid-friendly activities like coloring sheets
Volunteering at CAA Outreach
At the event, we’ll be tabling between 10am and 5pm. Each volunteer shift is just a few hours long. Volunteers will engage over 100 attendees in discussing how to make our diets more eco-friendly by moving towards plant-based eating, offer people food samples, and invite interested people to take the Veg Pledge.
At the front table, we’ll have a matching game where attendees match the resources (like gallons of water) to a food they might eat. This helps everyone learn about how plant-based eating can help our climate, our land, and our water. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you have the answers, and the food samples to offer, and walk you through your first few interactions! Most people enjoy playing the game and thinking about all that goes into our food.
Who can volunteer?
If you’re passionate about the climate impact of our diet, or about helping people move towards plant-based eating, this event is for you. We’ll support you in how to do effective outreach. All are welcome to volunteer and no experience is required. The venue is ADA accessible, and there is free parking at the center.
