Wellness Peace University
Friends sharing a plant-forward meal at a long table

For Community Centers, YMCAs, Senior Centers & Libraries

A weekly program your community will look forward to.

You already have the room, the regulars, and a calendar to fill. WPU adds a nine-week program built around a shared table: one short lesson, one meal, one small step each week. Any volunteer can lead it with the kit.

Why a series beats a single event

One-time health talks are easy to schedule and easy to forget. A nine-week series builds friendships and habits.

Programs need to be low-cost and easy to lead. The WPU kit includes everything a volunteer needs.

What your center gets

  • The coordinator kit: lesson outlines, recipe cards, discussion prompts, and the weekly small step.
  • A shared-meal or tasting format that fits a community kitchen or a potluck.
  • Faith content is optional. The core program is about food, movement, rest, and community.
  • Free for founding community partners.

WPU is in pre-launch. Materials are in draft, and founding partners help shape them before they open to everyone.

How to start

  1. 01

    Find a coordinator

    Staff or a volunteer who'll host nine weekly sessions.

  2. 02

    Schedule the nine weeks

    Evenings, lunchtimes, or Saturday mornings all work.

  3. 03

    Invite the regulars

    Then ask them to bring a friend. That's Step 9: the ripple.

The nine weekly steps: Taste the Power · The Why · The Pantry Reset · Build the Plate · Master the Greens · Beans, Grains & the Power Foods · Less Meat, More Life · Move, Rest, Renew · The Ripple. See the full program.

Questions

Does it work for older adults?

Yes. Recipes are simple, movement is gentle and optional, and the group format suits senior centers well.

Do you work with extension offices?

We'd like to. If you teach nutrition or cooking through a county extension office, get in touch.
