We would like to offer to the opportunity to be a part of this year’s exciting Students of Sustainability (SoS) conference being held at UWA.

SoS is the largest student based environmental conference in Australia. Each year SoS offers an amazing opportunity for students, activists, academics, environment and Indigenous groups, and members of the wider community from around Australia to come together to share and gain knowledge, skills and information on environmental and social justice issues. The entire conference is volunteer run, with a dedicated group of 15-20 people spending the better half of the year organising it.

Food is a key issue in sustainability, and we are committed to providing sustainable food to all attendees. There will be three meals a day. They will be vegan, and organic and locally sourced wherever possible.

What we need from you

We are looking for experienced chefs who are willing to give one day to the conference to co-ordinate the kitchen for lunch and dinner. You will be catering for approximately 500 people. We will provide all food, a fully equipped kitchen, and a staff of volunteers to assist you in preparation. In exchange for your participation, we will give you a free ticket to attend the conference (usually valued around $150 dollars). We would like to give you the opportunity to create your own menu for the day. Be as creative as you like, as long as it adheres to the guidelines attached.

We highly recommend you take part in this exciting opportunity, as SoS is rarely in Western Australia and is an amazing and inspiring experience not to be missed. There are only 6 places available, so please contact us ASAP on the details below to confirm your involvement. Finalised menus need to be submitted by the 12th of April.

We look forward to working with you.

SoS Food Co-ordinator.
