Starting a Nutrition Program

Start by connecting with Tastebuds and let us know that you are interested in starting a new program. We will help guide you through the process of building a supportive team, completing the application and getting the program running.

It is important to have a strong team of both school staff and community volunteers to support the program. Connect with the school admin to discuss starting a nutrition program and what that could look like for your school. Recruit potential volunteers through school communications, the school council or local community members interested in helping out.

Once you have an idea of the how the program will be able to run and who will be supporting it complete the application linked below. Completing this application is necessary in order to receive funding from Tastebuds. 

After your application has been accepted and funds have been deposited you can get started! A Community Development Worker from Tastebuds will be assigned to your program to help everything run smoothly. We also have many resources in our resource hub to help train volunteers and assist you with running a successful nutrition program.
