This is an AmeriCorps national service position. It is contingent on funding and open until filled. The mission of the Clark County Food Bank is to "alleviate hunger and its root causes." One root cause of hunger is a lack of access and knowledge to make tasty, nutritious, and affordable meals. The Nutrition Education program teaches people how to cook, shop, grow, and prepare meals on a budget. By gaining these skills and knowledge, participants will be able to stretch food dollars and rely less on food assistance. Participants will also become healthier as a result of consuming healthier food options. This position requires flexibility to serve after 5 pm and on occasional weekends. There are multiple positions available at the Clark County Food Bank. If you want to serve with us, please also see the listings for the Farming and Gleaning Associate and Food Distribution Associate positions. We will begin reviewing applications on a rolling basis in April. Monthly stipend amount: $2,995
