​LEADERSHIP

The Power Lies With You

If you've been deeply inspired or changed by a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle and just can't keep it to yourself, Plant Powered Metro New York is here to support you in becoming a leader in our movement. Get in touch with us to discuss volunteer roles and leadership opportunities!

AMBASSADORS
You can be a part of our outreach team, bringing exposure to WFPB nutrition and opening doors for PPMNY's community partnerships. Ambassadors may get involved by building relationships with local influencers and organizations; representing our movement at fairs and festivals; showing up and speaking up at meetings, conferences, or political forums; or recruiting restaurants to offer WFPB options. If you like to connect with people and talk about the transformation of WFPB living, this role is for you.
EDUCATORS
If you have respected credentials or experience to serve as a volunteer educator, we're looking for health care professionals, culinary experts, and others to be "on call" to deliver educational content to the communities we reach, or contribute to behind-the-scenes planning and project development.
PROJECT-BASED VOLUNTEERS
We have plenty of short-term tasks and existing projects you can plug into. Examples include assisting PPMNY organizers with our public events, serving as a Lifestyle Mentor, taking on remote research or writing projects, translating materials or interpreting at an event, distributing materials, and more. Bring your skills, and let's talk!
NETWORK ORGANIZERS
For those with more time to give, Plant Powered Metro New York supports volunteer organizers who want to bring WFPB nutrition to a specific geographic area, demographic or affinity group, or an institution in the metro area. You can expand our network and impact by taking on an organizing role with the community you are best connected to and then build out partnerships to effect change within those communities. ​
