Help lead an exciting and fun nutrition education session called Fresh Conversations monthly at a senior center or congregate meal site in central Iowa. Fresh Conversations is a newsletter that has great information about nutrition and health. It also contains a monthly recipe which the participants get to taste. Your role as a facilitator would be: Meet with the Fresh Conversations Coordinator for training. Training is not lengthy, but gives facilitators a better picture of what the program is about and how it runs. Present the newsletter to the older adults at the senior center (this can range from 8-20 people) in a fun and energetic manner. Purchase, prepare and distribute the monthly sample (You would be reimbursed for all purchases) If this sounds interesting to you and you are enthusiastic and energetic, please email freshconversationsinfo@gmail.com.

We are looking for volunteers to facilitate our monthly Fresh Conversations meetings for seniors at congregate meal sites across central Iowa. Fresh Conversations is a healthy living program for seniors created by the Iowa Department of Public Health. The program combines monthly educational newsletters with small group discussions to increase the personal health of older adults across the state. To bring the program to more seniors, we need additional volunteers to facilitate our Fresh Conversations meetings. These meetings typically last 30 minutes and only need to be held once a month per meal site. Healthy living is the main theme of our meetings, but a background in a health field is not required for our volunteers. We provide training and monthly guides that make it easy for anyone to facilitate a Fresh Conversations meeting. An additional responsibility for our volunteers is preparing food samples to share at your meetings. The recipes are detailed in our monthly facilitator’s guide and all shopping costs are compensated by the program. Fresh Conversations even prepares our facilitators further by providing them with cooking utensils, food storage containers, and coolers.
