Unilever is on a mission to make sustainable living commonplace.
Since 2015, Unilever’s Agents of Change program has highlighted RDNs who are changemakers in their field, pioneering innovative approaches to dietary guidance, championing food that’s good for people and planet, and motivating their communities through diverse perspectives.
Dietitians touch people’s lives in so many ways. A single recipe, a practical tip, even a beautiful photo can spark something small that, over time, can add up to big changes. For the first time ever, Unilever is issuing an open call for the next Agents of Change member class.
As an Agent of Change, you will join a thriving network of some of the nation’s most celebrated RDNs. You’ll collaborate with Unilever dietitians and chefs to create content, such as recipes, meal inspiration, tips, articles, blog posts, photos, videos and media segments. And, as a brand ambassador, you will receive behind-the-scenes access as well as exclusive educational and travel experiences!

Registered dietitian nutritionists who are:
- Inspired by a vision of a healthier, more sustainable future and passionate about nutrition and cooking.
- Passionate about nutrition, cooking, sustainability and using their platforms to create change.
- Active in their community and seen as a positive role model.
- Creating nutritious, delicious recipes and share evidence-based dietary advice.
