Colleagues:

 

The application portal is now open for those interested in being candidates as 2021-2022 FoodCorps AmeriCorps Service Members. In Michigan, we are accepting applications to serve in schools with our site partners in Detroit, Flint, Muskegon, and the Petoskey region. For full consideration, candidates should submit their applications by mid-April. The candidate must, at a minimum, serve 1,700 allowable hours beginning in August 2021 for 11.5 months.

 

FoodCorps Michigan has connected over 50,000 children to healthy food in schools across the state since 2010. We complement school wellness objectives by placing FoodCorps' trained AmeriCorps members in kindergarten through 8^th grade classes, where they deliver our evidence-backed program to students. Our members work with staff, students, and community members to implement evidence-based strategies that get kids to eat healthily. For more information on applying to serve in Michigan, contact FoodCorps MI Program Coordinator Quan Blunt - miprograms@foodcorps.org

 

Please assist us by including this information in eNewletters and job boards, and forwarding the attached flyer to all interested parties.

 

Kind regards,

 

Dale
