Volunteer Role

Classroom Volunteers

EAT360 is a SNAP-ed funded program, serving almost 9,000 students at 14 school locations throughout Philadelphia. Vetri Community Partnership educators lead 45-minute nutrition education classes, during the school day. In our classroom, 25- 30 students create and taste vegetable forward recipes under the guidance of trained instructors. We discuss healthy lifestyles and food choices in a positive environment that challenges students to work as a team and embrace new experiences around eating. The EAT360 classroom is a customizable program, designed to address classes from kindergarten through high school.

We invite volunteers to join our instructors in the classroom as teaching assistants.

Volunteer responsibilities and requirements include:

• Set up and breakdown of nutrition education classrooms
• Working with students to maintain a safe environment throughout their experience
• Work under the leadership of instructors to facilitate classroom management
• Maintain a safe, respectful classroom space
• Clearances are required to work with us on school grounds

Schedule

• 3 different curriculum classes are offered per year at each of our 14 partner locations, from October - May
• 4 classes per school day, running between the hours of 8 am - 3 pm engaging all grade levels
• Volunteers are asked to be available for 3-4 hour time slots for either the morning or afternoon

Volunteer opportunities can be found on VolunteerHub once you are on-boarded!
