FoodCorps: Connect Kids to Healthy Food in School.
Together with communities, FoodCorps serves to connect kids to healthy foods in school. With over 200 AmeriCorps service members, FoodCorps has a presence in eighteen states across the country. In the schools that FoodCorps serves, 75 percent has a measurably healthier school food environment by the end of the year.
This workshop will be an introduction to FoodCorps, and will be modeling a hands on lesson anyone can teach. A native Maine FoodCorps service member will be using the subjects of science and nutrition to lead the workshop. It will be focused on grades 3-5 with extensions for grades 6-8.
