Lift UP is seeking a Supper Club Coordinator!

Lift UP is seeking a passionate and skilled Supper Club Coordinator to relaunch our Supper Club programming. This program provides residents of affordable housing the opportunity to prepare and enjoy nutrient-dense foods in a welcoming community setting. The goals of Supper Club are to strengthen community connections and promote healthy eating by increasing knowledge of nutrition and teaching practical cooking skills in a fun environment of their peers.

The Supper Club Coordinator will adapt and develop multi-session curriculum to teach cooking skills and basic nutrition, plan implementation of programming, facilitate sessions, coordinate Supper Club volunteers, and evaluate outcomes and impact on the community.

“My favorite thing about Supper Club is learning about fruits and vegetables and making it easier to know how to use them in things. Also, SPICES! I literally only knew and thought to use salt and pepper before this class. Quote me on that!”
