Nutrition Equity Scholars Program
As part of Tuft’s Commitment to addressing racial inequity, we are launching a pipeline program in December to help connect diverse communities in Boston to the Friedman School through the Nutrition Equity Scholar Program (NESP). We are currently recruiting mentors for this virtual mentorship program for Boston Public School Students. The program provides:
- Students mentorship.
- Nutrition workshops.
- College application support.
- Connections with the Friedman School.
Mentor responsibilities include checking in with students virtually for 15-60 minutes a week during the school year to help connect students with educational resources, provide guidance and support them in making progress towards their academic and nutrition goals.
If you are interested in learning more or becoming a mentor, check out the NESP website and click on the Become a Mentor tab! https://sites.tufts.edu/nesp/become-a-mentor/
Additionally, If you would like to support in a different role, such as helping with curriculum development for workshops, tutoring, or building partnerships in the community, send an email to ricardo.moreno@tufts.edu.
