Module 5: Engaging Communities
Nutrition

5.1 Overview

CommunityModule 5 focuses on working within a community rather than approaching it from the outside to offer your help.

Getting to know a community, its people, and its resources will help you identify useful strategies for providing nutrition education. People may be more receptive to nutrition education messages received in a setting where they are comfortable and from people who are like them.

This module will:

  • Outline how to create a useful community profile.
  • Offer tips on locating, engaging, and working with paraprofessionals from the community.
  • Provide guidance on addressing the food concerns of immigrants in the community.
