After an amazing five-and-a-half years of success, the One Straw Society’s Live and Learn program is ready for a few new mentors.
Do you know someone in our community with unique or amazing food-related skills such as gathering, growing, processing, repairing equipment or anything food and nature-related? If so, please consider sharing that person with the Live and Learn program team. Live and Learn provides training to develop classes, demonstrations and workshops based on the mentors’ skills. It finds venues for the classes, advertises for participants and supports them during the actual events. Mentors also receive a payment for giving classes.
Everyone is welcome. Live and Learn prioritizes skilled residents of the lower Sunshine Coast who are elders, single parents, people with disabilities or under-employed adults for mentor training. To date it has over 65 mentors and needs six more this year.

The program is funded by the Vancouver Coastal Health Smart Fund.
