Food Smarts for College Students (and Emerging Adults) – Facilitator Training

Description:  This unique training will equip participants to facilitate the Food Smarts for College Students and Emerging Adults curriculum.  Participants will:

• Learn how to implement the curriculum
• Explore the relationship between positive and adverse experiences and nourishment
• Develop compassionate facilitation strategies
• Consider best practices for working with this age group

Audience:  Educators working with college students or emerging adults. [If an agency has multiple participants, each participant must register separately so that their registration email address can then be added to our online training system.]

Training Delivery and Dates:  This program includes self-paced content (videos, reflection activities, and readings) and live, instructor-led sessions. Registered participants will gain access to our online training system (TalentLMS) when the course opens in late September and will need to complete approximately one and a half hours of self-paced work prior to the first live session on October 1, 2026.  Participants will have access to digital curriculum files and will be sent a Curriculum Bundle.  Key dates are as follows:

• Self-Paced Course Opens:  late September
• Live Zoom Sessions: October 1 and 15 from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. PT

NOTE:  Although registration will remain open until October 1, participants who register after September 10 may not receive the hardcopy curriculum bundle until after the first session, in which case participants will have to rely on the digital curriculum for reference.

Total Training Time:  Approximately 7 hours total (four hours of live sessions and about three hours of self-paced work)

Materials:  One copy of the Instructor Guide and Workbook is included in the training cost.  Materials will be sent to participants once they purchase the training.

Next Steps:  Upon completion of this program, participants are certified to deliver the Food Smarts for College Students and Emerging Adults curriculum.
