Nonnas of the World Community brings people together through food, culture, storytelling, and intergenerational connection. Our work is rooted in the wisdom of grandmothers, the power of shared meals, and the belief that cultural traditions should be preserved, celebrated, and passed on.
There are many ways to become part of our community. Whether you would like to volunteer, share your story as a Nonna, explore future career opportunities, or support our programs through an internship, we invite you to learn more below.
Become a Nonna
The heart of Nonnas of the World Community is the Nonnas themselves: women who carry their heritage through food, memory, and lived experience.
We are looking for grandmothers and older women with a deep passion for cooking and a true gift in the kitchen. You do not need to be a professional chef, but your cooking should be something you are known for: dishes that family, friends, and community have loved, requested, and praised over many years.
Perhaps you are the person everyone hopes will cook for family gatherings. Perhaps your recipes have been passed down through generations. Perhaps people have always told you that your food carries something special: flavor, memory, care, tradition, and soul.
Nonnas of the World Community celebrates women whose cooking is exceptional, deeply personal, generous, and rooted in cultural tradition.
If you believe you are one of these women, please fill out the form below and get in touch with us. We would be delighted to hear from you and learn more about your story.
