No such thing as waste.

WHY WORK WITH US

We are a small team of independent project coordinators and freelancers that work together to tackle food waste in Copenhagen. Alongside the team leaders, we have built a community of over 200 volunteers, from a variety of backgrounds. We are a reflection of our community, and we are a place for meaningful career transformation and skills development.

Our community is diverse, proactive, empathic & practical, and constantly growing, which is why we need committed coordinators to help with our growth and achieving our mission of saving and preventing food waste & providing nutrition to underprivileged locals.

Working with us will allow you to develop interpersonal skills, communication, organisational & management skills, and it will help you gain knowledge and expertise in the field of sustainability & food waste.

Currently the position is for a volunteer (or unpaid intern), but based on your work looking for funding, some compensation can be achieved in the future.
