The Ceres Project, which offers young people a chance to serve their community by learning to grow, prepare and deliver food to local families in need, recently welcomed 13 new Teen Leaders and announced its graduating seniors have given more than 3,800 hours in service.
Teens can begin volunteering at 14 and can apply to become a Teen Leader after one year. Select Teen Leaders speak at public events, serve on Ceres’ Board of Directors as full voting members and participate in Ceres’ policy work in health equity and food system advocacy.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work at Ceres for the last year and a half. Ceres’ mission is something I’m grateful to support — providing sustainable meals for people who might not have access to them. I love the people I volunteer with and have a lot of fun in the process, “ said Novato resident McGregor Abele.
