This internship is an opportunity to run a series of classes at the Dimock Head Start center in Roxbury. During these classes, the intern would introduce new simple recipes to the head start kids (3-5 yrs.) and talk to them about healthy eating and age-appropriate, simplified nutrition concepts (like “Eating a Rainbow”). The recipes that we have developed are easy and can be prepared for the children in front of them. We have an induction burner and a blender (as well as various other kitchen implements) that can be provided so the recipes can be made.
This internship is ideal for an undergraduate or graduate student in the field of nutrition or dietetics. Those exploring a dietetic internship may also gain valuable experience. Strong interest in nutrition education and demonstrated experience working with young children and/or their families will enable a prospective intern to succeed. While not required, proficiency in Spanish is a plus. See attachment for more information.
