Chapman Partnership
"With two Homeless Assistance Centers located in Miami and Homestead, the Chapman Partnership serves vulnerable populations that include: domestic violence survivors, veterans, the disabled, unaccompanied youth, and justice-involved or justice-connected adults. Residents work alongside case managers to foster a comprehensive, personalized plan that guides the services provided throughout their journey. With fully equipped medical and dental clinics, family dorms, cafeterias, classrooms, Wi-Fi, daycare, basketball courts, and even a dog kennel, we provide all the resources needed for motivated residents to become self-sufficient and connect them with over 100 government and social services, collectively offering a holistic approach for clients to reach their ultimate goal of independence" ~Chapman Partnership (https://chapmanpartnership.org/)
“Teaching at Chapman is so rewarding. Our students (both adults and kids) are always so enthusiastic about learning more about nutrition. This experience inspires me to be a better future dietitian so I can help more people like them.”

"Volunteering at Chapman was a fun and fulfilling experience. I was able to experience nutrition education first hand, and I got the opportunity to form part of something that makes a difference in the lives of both adults and children. Not only did my nutrition knowledge and communication improve, I was also able to develop leadership skills and work along inspiring and hard working individuals. I really loved this volunteering experience, and I hope others get to experience it the way I did!"
