WSC, Clark County Food Bank, Nutrition Educator

The mission of the Clark County Food Bank is to “alleviate hunger and its root causes.” One of the root causes of hunger is a lack of access, knowledge, skills and confidence needed to prepare and shop for tasty, nutritious, affordable meals. The goal of each Nutrition Education program is to offer cooking and nutrition education opportunities to low-income individuals, families and youth in an effort to eliminate long-term food assistance. The AmeriCorps Nutrition Educator will serve in tandem with the Nutrition Education Manager to build upon the 2011-2016 AmeriCorps Nutrition Education programs and will both lead and support nutrition classes, events and workshops focused on healthy choices, shopping on a budget, basic cooking skills, food safety, and gardening. Classes will include a diversity of age groups, ranging from older adults to young children, and will be conducted in the Clark County Food Bank Learning Kitchen as well as a variety of venues throughout Clark County. AmeriCorps member will recruit, train, and support new and current volunteers to provide program sustainability and necessary growth. AmeriCorps member will recruit new and foster current community partnerships to continue expansion of program by facilitating meetings, taking part in strategic planning and conducting outreach.
