SUMMARY:Plant-Based Outreach @ the Eden Prairie Eco Expo
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer to Do Outreach at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo! \nJoin us at the Eden Prairie Eco Expo this May. We are looking for a few volunteers to run outreach games to help attendees learn about how plant-based diets reduce our environmental impact. We have several different shifts available. Your help is critical to a successful event. \nWhat is the Eden Prairie Eco Expo?\nAt a 2025 Eco Fair. \nThe Expo is a program of the Rotary Club aiming to raise awareness of what actions people can take to positively impact the environment\, whether it’s switching to an electric stove or eating a plant-based diet. You may want to plan time to walk around the expo before or after your volunteer shift. Highlights of the event include: \n\nSeed planting opportunity\nA cooking demo and samples from Wholesome Minnesota\nLots of eco-friendly exhibitors\nKid-friendly activities like coloring sheets\n\nVolunteering at CAA Outreach \nAt the event\, we’ll be tabling between 10am and 5pm. Each volunteer shift is just a few hours long. Volunteers will engage over 100 attendees in discussing how to make our diets more eco-friendly by moving towards plant-based eating\, offer people food samples\, and invite interested people to take the Veg Pledge. \nAt the front table\, we’ll have a matching game where attendees match the resources (like gallons of water) to a food they might eat. This helps everyone learn about how plant-based eating can help our climate\, our land\, and our water. Don’t worry\, we’ll make sure you have the answers\, and the food samples to offer\, and walk you through your first few interactions! Most people enjoy playing the game and thinking about all that goes into our food. \nWho can volunteer?\nIf you’re passionate about the climate impact of our diet\, or about helping people move towards plant-based eating\, this event is for you. We’ll support you in how to do effective outreach. All are welcome to volunteer and no experience is required. The venue is ADA accessible\, and there is free parking at the center. \nGet involved at other Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) events!\nCompassionate Action for Animals (CAA) hosts many events throughout the year\, including Twin Cities Veg Fest\, the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge\, Vegan Recipe Club\, outreach events\, dine-outs\, documentary screenings\, potlucks\, and so much more! If you can’t make this event\, or just want to know about other opportunities to get involved with CAA\, we’ve got so many ways to connect with the community and make a difference for animals and the environment. Visit our events page to see all upcoming events! \nHow can I sign up to volunteer? \nSign up below! \n

SUMMARY:Plant-Based Outreach @ Ridgedale Library Earth Day
DESCRIPTION:Help with Plant-Based Outreach at Ridgedale Library Earth Day! \nJoin us at the Ridgedale Library Earth Day. We are looking for a couple volunteers to help run a trivia game on the environmental impact of our food and ask people to support a plant-based school meal option. Your voice matters! \nWhat is the Ridgedale Library Earth Day?\nOutreach at last year’s Ridgedale Library Earth Day. Thanks\, Nicola! \nThe day is a kid-friendly event at Ridgedale Library where several hundred people come to explore eco-friendly living and activities. County officials\, library leadership\, community partners (including CAA)\, multiple city and county departments\, students\, teachers\, and volunteers provide resources\, demonstrations\, activities\, and conversations to help us learn about the environment and climate change at the multi-station Earth Day Fair. \nVolunteering with CAA\nAt the event\, we’ll be tabling between 11am and 2pm. At the front table\, we’ll have a spin wheel game where attendees guess an answer to a question that helps them learn about the ways animal agriculture harms our environment\, including larger carbon emissions\, more land use and deforestation\, and more water pollution than plant-based agriculture. (Don’t worry\, you’ll have all the answers and sources to the trivia game!) \nAfter people play the trivia game\, we give them a vegan candy or snack. If they’re an adult\, we ask them to fill out a note to support a plant-based school meal option. If they’re a kid\, we give them a sticker and a coloring sheet about protecting the earth and eating plants.  \nWho can volunteer?\nIf you’re passionate about the climate impact of our diet\, or about helping people move towards plant-based eating\, this event is for you. We’ll help you get oriented when you arrive. All are welcome to volunteer and no experience is required. We know this event is over a typical lunch  hour\, and we’ll have some snacks and drinks available for volunteers as needed. \nHow can I sign up to volunteer? \nRight here! You can also see all volunteer opportunities here. \nGet involved at other Compassionate Action for Animals (CAA) events!\nCompassionate Action for Animals (CAA) hosts many events throughout the year\, including Twin Cities Veg Fest\, Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge\, Vegan Recipe Club\, making vegan meals at local shelters\, vegan dine-outs\, outreach events\, potlucks\, and so much more!
