I have another great opportunity for any one who is interested in teaching nutrition classes for Refugee Focus. My colleague and I had created the curriculum, and have been instructing these nutrition classes since the beginning of 2014. Nutrition experience is always welcomed, but you do not have to be in the nutrition program in order to teach. (I have a background in nutrition, but I am currently majoring in public policy). On an informative note, Refugee Focus provides assistance to the incoming refugee population. They offer English classes, trade classes, assistance with living, assistance with employment, and various other resources. They are an awesome non-profit organization, and having extra help with the classes would be greatly appreciated.
What you will be doing: You would be learning the nutrition curriculum alongside myself and my colleague, Kavita. We will teach you how to interact with the class, and how to instruct with an interpreter present. You will be teaching 3 hour classes for groups of women (typically 5-10 women). You will get to learn about diverse cultures, and help incoming refugees with their health. Lastly, this can be used as volunteer hours! If you would like to know more information, please email me directly at fatemah_bernard@yahoo.com.
Take Care!
