Student goals and capabilities

Students in NSC 395A have to complete 45 hours of nutrition or food related volunteer work over the course of a semester. We have some students who need virtual or remote opportunities. I help facilitate the initial introduction between the students and the organization students want to work with, then the students are responsible for working with the organization. Students receive 2-unit for this course, and it's required for them to graduate, so they will be motivated to complete their work.

Students have a basic foundation in food and nutrition, but can complete research and look up information to help with nutrition-related projects the organization needs. The students are learning professionalism and soft skills while completing their volunteer experience.
