Are you a local business person, retired restaurant or small food business owner looking to share your knowledge with others? Do you have experience in running or managing a successful business? ShareKitchen is seeking mentors to assist its Client Members in developing their businesses.
ShareKitchen is built on the philosophy of sharing, and more than just the kitchen. The non-profit organization offers Small Business Development and Support services which provide assistance to start-up and early-stage entrepreneurs with the goal of improving their chances of growing into a healthy, sustainable small food business. As part of this program, ShareKitchen offers a variety of services including business development, marketing plans, concept to consumer food product development, education and training.
Currently more than 20 Client Members, in a variety of stages of development, are working to perfect their product, promote their brand, gain exposure, and navigate the marketplace. ShareKitchen is looking for local professionals who are interested in volunteering a few hours a month to work with these clients to help them build and grow their businesses. The mentoring program includes meeting in person with the client to understand their product, goals, and areas for development; mapping out a plan and course to follow; and encouraging the client to meet their set goals including weekly check-ins to monitor progress and offer assistance.
Interested volunteers are invited to contact Angela to set up a tour of the facility, learn about the various opportunities that ShareKitchen offers and how the mentor program works. ShareKitchen is located at 68805 E. Palm Canyon Drive, Cathedral City. Call 760-459-4259 to arrange a meeting or email Angela@ShareKitchen.org.
