Internship Description
The Family Dinner Night intern is part of the FDN team, which provides a weekly, family-style dinner for the Madison community, sourced from local, seasonal ingredients. FDN interns help with recipe planning, scaling, and cooking in the kitchen. They also have the opportunity to help organize meal collaborations and source meals at local farmers’ markets. This internship is a great way to “dip your toes” into the Slow Food UW community while also contributing meaningfully to one of its weekly operations. Prior kitchen experience is appreciated, but not required. FDN happens almost every Monday night at 6:30pm.
