We are developing a pool of BKC members with specific prior experience in three areas to be available to Kripalu for seva:

Kitchen -- veggie prep -- must have previous Kripalu kitchen experience or other similar commercial kitchen experience
Kripalu Shop -- registers -- must have previous retail sales experience
Childcare and R&R childrens programs -- must have childcare experience, teachers on break would be ideal.
The "prior experience" requirement is Kripalu's -- to assure safety and minimize training requirements for these specific activities.
