Body Connection
Body Connection is a collection of short mindful movement lessons designed to build a foundation for intrinsically-motivated movement and healthy habits. The 30 minute lessons are designed to be a warm up or break during nutrition interventions. They also serve to regulate the body before or between cognitive activities like nutrition education workshops.
The Body Connection materials will be available soon. In the meantime, we recommend visiting our training calendar for upcoming trainings. You can also explore more details about the curriculum on the Leah's Pantry website.
This is a physical activity curriculum that should be implemented in addition to a nutrition component or a food tasting.
Food Smarts for College Students
Food Smarts for College Students is an adaptation of Food Smarts, an interactive, learner-centered nutrition curriculum and was created with input from college students.
This curriculum recognizes the unique challenges and opportunities college students encounter when planning and preparing meals. The goal is to support college-age young adults to develop skills for their busy lives and growing independence. Lessons are designed to build nutrition and food literacy and confidence and are aligned with trauma-informed principles and the most recent Dietary Guidelines. There are eight 60-minute lessons that can be taught by trained facilitators as a series or single sessions in settings with or without a kitchen.
