Get Involved volunteers & interns

The Tree of New America is looking for passionate individuals to help us develop and expand programs that bridge the hunger gap and promote mental health and wellness through nutrition. Join us in creating sustainable food initiatives and strengthening communities.

We will give you experience in:
- Designing sustainable food distribution and community support initiatives.
- Developing strategies to engage the community and spread awareness.- Community Outreach & Partnerships Building.- Public Relations & Communications where you will learn to craft press releases, manage outreach efforts, and engage with media outlets while executing Marketing Campaigns.

As stated on our home page, the Tree of New America started out as a film arts project. For those interns who want to learn about the world of video production we offer an immersive hands on program that encompasses all aspects of:

- Longform Video & Multimedia Production.
- Shortform Social Media Video Production.

We have a topic rich environment in which to pull from when creating videos that highlight our work. As well we have an abundance of personalities to follow who help to bring our stories to life. Here are 2 diverse examples of the types of feature videos that we have made in the past with our volunteers and interns.

This was our first video. 'What is an Immigrant'. Although it is not about food insecurity or food sustainability it does show case our roots as a film arts project that turned into an advocacy project. It was the first feature video that the Tree of New America made telling the story of an immigrant named Tibor Rubin, the only Holocaust survivor to ever win an American Congressional Medal of Honor.  It set the standard for quality of what would come next.

'What it Takes to Care for a Village'.  With the help of our volunteers and interns we show the tender reality of how important nonprofits are when it comes to looking after those in our communities who have been marginalized. 

We are looking for creative artists and thinkers as well as problem solvers to help us grow and shape change in communities that need it. Internship opportunities are available, and some schools may offer course credit for participation.
