Forming a
Breakfast
Club
Committee
Forming a breakfast club committee to provide ongoing support will ensure the
development of a high quality and sustainable program. If a staff member or volunteer
leaves, there’s always another person who can maintain the continuity of the program.
The committee will act as an advisory group that meets as needed to monitor program
effectiveness and discuss important topics including volunteer roles and recruitment,
finances and fundraising, menu planning, program needs, and more. The committee
may be a newly-formed group within the school or it could be a sub-committee of an
already existing group such as the parent council or student wellness committee.
Objectives of the Committee
1) Choose 4 to 8 diversely skilled and passionate people
to form the committee
2) Designate a program coordinator
3) Delegate the various responsibilities amongst
the committee members
4) Choose a suitable location and delivery model
for the breakfast club
5) Assess equipment needs
6) Identify priorities and create a long term action plan
7) Create a breakfast club binder
Choosing Committed and Passionate People
The most successful breakfast clubs are those that involve the whole school community. The committee should seek
committed and passionate individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including:
•
The school principal;
•
Teachers and school staff;
•
School board and/or band council representatives;
•
Parents/guardians and grandparents;
•
Community members;
•
Local service or community groups;
•
Faith groups;
•
Local businesses with an interest in youth or nutrition;
•
Public health nurses and/or dietitians;
•
Student teachers, or teachers-in-training.
