Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County (MOWI) is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit charitable organization, and has operated independently in Tarrant County since 1973, providing hot, nourishing meals to elderly and disabled persons who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. The meals, daily contact by caring volunteers and professional case management allow frail, homebound persons to remain in their own homes ... where they want to be. More information about the organization can be found at HYPERLINK "http://www.mealsonwheels.org" www.mealsonwheels.org.
For the fourth year in a row, MOWI is offering a summer work internship opportunity for Dietetic/Nutrition students, graduates, or graduate students. Last year MOWI received 25 applications from students on campuses all over the country with MOWI accepting nine applicants representing the following colleges: Oklahoma State University; Loma Linda University; University of Kentucky; University of Dayton; Texas Woman’s University; University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff; Texas Tech University, and University of Central Michigan. Previous MOWI interns have come from the following universities: The University of Texas at Austin; Texas A&M University; Oklahoma State University; Texas Christian University; Oregon State University; University of Texas-Pan American and University of Texas, Southwestern Dallas Campus. Honor your school by adding their name to our prestige list!
The selected student(s)/graduate(s) will work one on one with three tenured, experienced, MOWI employed, Registered/Licensed Dietitians in the area of community dietetics and geriatric nutrition. The dates, days, and hours of work can be flexible but require a commitment of at least 20 hours per week for 6 weeks or more, for a minimum of 120 hours in total within MOWI regular operating hours of : Monday-Thursday, 8:00a-4:30p and Friday, 8:00a-3:30p.

This is a non-paid position with no stipends for living expenses. The applicant will need to secure their own housing arrangements within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and must have their own reliable transportation as well as a laptop computer. However, any mileage or other out of pocket expenses related to performing specific job duties will be reimbursed. This opportunity has been very beneficial to past summer interns by giving them the much needed nutrition/dietetic experience prerequisite required/requested by most internship, coordinated, or graduate school programs. Personal references and essays from previous MOWI summer work interns about their MOWI experiences and what they gained from this unique and rewarding opportunity are available upon request.
If interested in this position, please respond by April 15, 2010 via email to Sherry Marishak-Simon, R.D./L.D., Director of Nutrition Services at HYPERLINK "mailto:ssimon@mealsonwheels.org" ssimon@mealsonwheels.org with: 1) a current resume; 2) an essay on why you would like to work at MOWI; 3) two letters of recommendation; and 4) a commitment statement of your dates, days, and hours of work availability.

The dates, days, and hours of work can be flexible but require a commitment of at least 20 hours per week for 6 weeks or more, for a minimum of 120 hours in total within MOWI regular operating hours of : Monday-Thursday, 8:00a-4:30p and Friday, 8:00a-3:30p. The student(s) may gain experience in one or all of the following areas of dietetics, nutrition and business management: menu development, research design and reporting, client counseling, foodservice management, development of written nutrition education publications, client satisfaction survey design and reporting, food time and temperature studies, report writing, geriatric nutrition practices, in-home nutritional assessments, and nutrition committee work. This is a non-paid position with no stipends for living expenses. The applicant will need to secure their own housing arrangements within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and must have their own reliable transportation as well as a laptop computer. However, any mileage or other out of pocket expenses related to performing specific job duties will be reimbursed. This opportunity has been very beneficial to past summer interns by giving them the much needed nutrition/dietetic experience prerequisite required/requested by most internship, coordinated, or graduate school programs. Personal references and essays from previous MOWI summer work interns about their MOWI experiences and what they gained from this unique and rewarding opportunity are available upon request.
