Opportunities From: Volunteer | YMCA of the North

Come cook pizza on the farm! At the Fall Harvest Fest, our pizza cooking volunteers are a key players in making this event as fun and memorable as it is! And it's really not hard once you get the hang of it!

You will be standing on a concrete pad in front of our wood fired pizza ovens, sliding 12'' pizzas on parbaked crusts in and out of the oven with a paddle, cooking them for 3-5 minutes next to the fire. They really don't stick to the paddles! You'll be using long, heat resistant gloves that protect your arms as well, so need to worry about heat. Once the pizza is cooked, you'll put it on the counter right in front of the oven where another volunteer will cut it. There will be four people in total working this station with you (two cookers, and two cutters). You can certainly trade places at any time. There are four volunteer shifts open during this time slot so bring your friends!

Volunteers need to be able to stand for two hours, lift arms above the waist, and twist.

Directions to the Farm at YMCA Camp St. Croix: turn in at the entrance that says "North Entrance" or "Daycroix" (345 Riverview Drive, Hudson, WI, 54016) and follow the driveway all the way down, curving to the left, and then left again. Drive all the way down to the big red dairy barn, and park behind the barn in the small gravel lot.**

**For some of the larger events that require more volunteers, there might not be room in the lot behind the barn, in which case you can park in the lawn where others are parking!
