Partnering For Progress
In line with the advice and accounts of many of our speakers, preceptors and readings for our internship, cultivating partnerships with other professionals is a great way to expand our impact. I have attached a link about a unique project (Edible History) backed by the Cleveland based non-profit St. Clair Superior Development Corporation that presents an exciting opportunity for partnership.
"The pilot Edible History project is located in Cleveland's St Clair Superior neighborhood. A pre-civil war home will be a model for creative reuse that will engage the public in healthy eating and lifestyles. The house will serve as a food cooperative distribution center and a place for learning studios to occur. Neighboring vacant land will create an edible apothecary helping supply the cooperative and surrounding neighborhood. The learning studios will offer an array of classes, such as neighborhood history, cooking classes, health and wellness seminars, and healthy eating classes for youth."
A project like this presents a great employment opportunity for dietitians and interns alike in a new and nontraditional community setting. It also encourages collaboration with partners who may seem surprising, but can offer a new and fresh perspective on community dietetics.
