B.E.A.N.S. Searching for Teen Peer Educators

The Better Eating, Activity, and Nutrition for Students (BEANS) program is gearing up for the new school year! Our mission is to get kids to eat more fresh garden produce, and we need some teens to help get this mission accomplished. We are searching for teen peer educators in Fort Bragg, Willits, and Ukiah who will meet two afternoons each week to learn about nutrition, cooking, and effective teaching methods, and then present lessons in local elementary schools.

Do you know a teen who is interested in tasting garden-fresh foods and teaching kids? Do you know a teen who wants to be a part of the country-wide fight against childhood obesity? Do you know a teen who would like to do some community service? What about a teen who would like to earn $1000?!

Contact Tarney Sheldon, BEANS Lead Site Coordinator at sheldont@ncoinc.org for more information or for a teen peer educator application. Applications are due September 8th, 2010.
