The goal of the Health Ambassador program is to train community leaders to be a nutrition resource. Using a train-the-trainer format, Health Ambassadors receive in-depth training on best practices and dynamic activities in nutrition education that will enhance their nutrition education activities at their emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, or feeding programs.
Upon completion of the program, Health Ambassadors will:
- Create educational nutrition displays
- Conduct cooking demonstrations to prepare healthy recipes using economical ingredients
- Conduct quick and simple nutrition activities appropriate for a food pantry setting
- Disseminate nutrition information to the community
Workshop descriptions. Attendance at all three workshops is required in order to participate in the series.
