Applications Open for Service Positions as School Food Change-makers!

 

Michigan – January 17, 2018 - FoodCorps, a national organization that connects children in limited resource communities to healthy food in school, opens applications for its seventh annual class of AmeriCorps service members.  The selected community leaders will dedicate one year of full-time, paid public service in school food systems – teaching hands-on lessons in growing, cooking and tasting food, collaborating with food service staff to steer students towards the healthiest options in the cafeteria, and working alongside school administrators and teachers to foster a school wide culture of health.

 

"What we feed our children in school––and what we teach them about food there––shapes their health and success over a lifetime. By joining FoodCorps, you will have a chance to do something incredibly important: connect children in your community to healthy food, and give them the opportunity to grow, learn and thrive,” said Curt Ellis, FoodCorps co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

 

This year FoodCorps seeks up to 230 men and women across the country with a passion for serving their communities, a commitment to social justice and an interest in jumpstarting their careers.
