Hi

Are you a new, aspiring or struggling with being vegan or vegetarian, or know someone who is? Our Veggie Mentor Program may be a good fit for you!

Currently, our mentors offer advice and coaching in a special online forum.

Or do you think this is a really great idea and want to get involved?

On Sunday, 8/21, we'll have our first meeting where1) volunteers can meet to support the Veggie Mentor Program,

2) folks needing support from the program can meet to discuss, in a supportive, friendly environment, the challenges that they face in their veg*n path.

About the meeting hosts:

Tammy and Chris are the co-founders of Bay Area Vegetarians. They weren't born vegan, but they learned. Combined, they have over 25 years of experience living as vegetarians and dealing with issues and topics related to family, friends, and the workplace.

They started the Veggie Mentor Program to be a supportive community for aspiring veg*ns. They believe a vegan diet is the most compassionate lifestyle available, but they are advocates of any reductions people can make in reducing their consumption of animal products.
