What are the responsibilities and job description for the Internship, Health & Nutrition position at Feeding Tampa Bay?
Description
Feeding Tampa Bay serves ten counties in West Central Florida and is a leader in hunger relief across our region. Just last year, we served 85M meals to our neighbors through direct service and through our network of 400 food pantry partners.
But, we know food alone won’t solve hunger — that’s why we’re redefining what it means to feed our region. By creating pathways to possibilities for nearly 1 million people, Feeding Tampa Bay connects and convenes solutions, partners and resources that nourish long-term stability. As a member of the Feeding America network, we will work to dismantle barriers for individuals, families and seniors across our area — because it’s possible.
Feeding Tampa Bay’s Health programs address the intersection between Health and Hunger. This opportunity will assist with developing, implementing, and evaluating nutrition education materials as well as other program initiatives that support the health of our neighbors. Interns will dismantle barriers neighbors face when trying to improve their health.
