The University of California Master Food Preserver Program is excited to announce a new volunteer program with online content delivery only. This will allow adults interested in becoming a UC Master Food Preserver Volunteer who do not live in a county with an existing program to apply for certification as a volunteer. Prior food preservation experience is not required, but online skills are.
UC Master Food Preserver volunteers learn research-based food preservation techniques and then share that knowledge with others. This new online delivery program will provide educational outreach through online classes, by creating short videos and Facebook reels, providing social media content for the statewide UC Master Food Preserver Program, developing an online newsletter, and helping staff the statewide Ask a UC Master Food Preserver helpline. No educational outreach activities will be in person.
