MSA Nutrition & Healthy Living - Volunteer Leader Application 2024

An Introduction
This program was founded in a time where students had been isolated, where gyms were closed, and finances unstable, physical health was been difficult to manage. In normal circumstances, seeking advice on physical routines or receiving support to alter lifestyle choices can be considered a luxury and a great expense and consequently becomes a low priority.


Aim
This skill share-based program provides students with general advice about nutrition and healthy living from students studying:
Bachelor of Nutrition Science
Masters of Dietetics
Bachelor of Nutrition Science (Honours)
or equivalent degree

Activity Period
In Semester : Week 1- Week 10
Note: The end date is determined by volunteer leaders

Program Portfolios

All Nutrition and Healthy Living (N&HL) Leaders will be responsible for regular instragram posts, and 1-2 webinars per semester. 

Tips & Tricks on MSA LifeHacks Instragram
Monash Life Hacks is an Instagram account set up to provide students with resources and tips for everyday life.
N&HL Leaders will be involved in weekly posts about healthy eating, both in terms of food content and eating habits. This may include researching and promoting Monash and public resources for students.

Zoom Webinars
N & HL Leaders will have the opportunity to host fortnightly/Monthly webinars on zoom. Sessions will be recorded and available for any students who miss the sessions. Sessions will focus on healthy eating, but topics will alter weekly. The sessions will be structured to allow questions and interaction among attendees.
