We offer the following services for free: wellness planning, cooking classes, nutritional goal setting, group grocery shopping, exercise plans. All of our classes/ courses are streamed live or pre- recorded online! We also have guest speakers that come into class and facilitate health education classes. Classes focus on the following areas: sexual health, community health, mental health, sexual health, physical health, and diabetes/ high blood pressure management, resume writing, career planning, and much more.
Classes are discussion based and require a high level of class participation. All of our guest speakers come from the community in which they serve and bring inspiring ideas to help facilitate the class. Each week will be a new theme or topic to discuss for the class. Our Facebook will be updated weekly and will include the next weeks flyers with the time and date of each class. We hope to see you here on our platform creating change in yourself and in the world!
