OPERATION FRONTLINE

Operation Frontline is an innovative program that uses cooking classes to teach nutrition to low-income families. The goal is to provide a long-term solution to hunger and poor nutrition by teaching how to get the best nutrition possible on a limited budget.

Roles for volunteers include:

• Chef Instructors, who teach adults, children and teens how to cook healthy, low-cost foods using the lesson plans and recipes provided in the Operation Frontline curricula. Volunteers can be either a professional chef, culinary student, or experienced commercial or institutional cook.
  
  
• Nutrition Instructors, who also teach adults, children and teens how to make healthy choices using the lesson plans provided in the Operation Frontline curricula. Volunteers should either possess or be working toward a degree in Dietetics or Nutrition, or have 3 years of work-related experience.
  
  
• Class Assistants/Shoppers, who help facilitate classes by assisting with onsite or offsite class preparation and implementation. Duties may include shopping for food, managing class materials, helping with set up and clean up, and working with students as needed. Any member of the community with adequate transportation may serve in this role.
