Designating
a program
coordinator
While sharing the breakfast club’s workload amongst the whole school community is
encouraged, there is still a need for one or two main people to lead the club. This person
is typically referred to as the program coordinator, but may also be known as the site
coordinator, health champion, head volunteer or program lead. The program coordinator
is responsible for organizing and overseeing the daily operation of the breakfast club
and is the main point of contact for other members, funders, volunteers, and the broader
school community. The main tasks that are typically the responsibility of the program
coordinator may include:
•
Lead initial program planning, including forming the committee;
•
Ensure the successful day-to-day operation of the school breakfast
club including food purchasing, preparation and delivery;
•
Provide training and guidance to volunteers;
•
Ensure volunteers are screened in accordance with school policies;
•
Organize the volunteer schedule to ensure proper staffing and supervision each day;
•
Ensure that resources and equipment are clean and securely stored;
