On March 19th, 2010, Nutrolution's Rachael Richardson, RD, LD/N and Ivan Amayo, MBA provided civil service as they spoke a group of seventy five 18-25 year old "core members" about healthy nutrition. It was called Nutrition 101 for Young Adults, and it was geared toward young adults on a tight food budget. The core members are a group of volunteers who work for City Year, a national non-profit organization who focuses on raising the bar of education in the United States, particular focusing on inner city struggling schools. Nutrition 101 for Young Adults was well received, and the day marks the start of a new relationship between City Year Foundation and Nutrolution, Inc.
Nutrolution is now working with City Year and other individuals including 5th Grade Licensed School Teacher Leah Beeson to create a nutrition education curriculum which can be implemented through City Year's existing programming and potentially to a wider audience as well. Leah Beeson is currently a wellness committee member and has already begun to develop and implement wellness concepts cocreated by herself and Nutrolution within her classroom and elementary school.
With weekly topics such as 1.) If it doesn't Grow, it Doesn't Grow, 2.) Your Body is Your Engine, and 3.) Losing Weight the Right Way, this up and coming program is going to lead the way for cutting edge nutrition education directly geared for school aged kids, specifically elementary and early middle. Nutrolution and City Year together will begin seeking funding immediately to develop this much needed program. Please be in touch if you would like to help.
Currently, Nutrolution has published a kids section on their website, where kids (and parents) can find and print a basic nutritional guide for kids. http://www.nutrolution.com/kids.php Nutrolution has coined the innitiative 'Dunk the Junk' with more to come on bringing this campaign to fruition. With key partnerships and funding, there is nothing which we-Nutrolution-cannot accomplish when it comes to teaching children how to nourish their bodies and stay healthy and disease and medication-free, even amist a world of junk food and incessant food marketing.
With a vision for a healthy future for kids, and a space where nutrolution may be of best service in 2010 and years to come, I smile gently.

Nutrolution provided an excellent trainging for the City Year Corps Members on that day! The information was both educational and relevant and the presentation itsself was engaging! The Corps Members will use that information to stay even more fit and alert as they take on their year of service to change the world!
