FoodCorps

Together with communities, FoodCorps serves to connect kids to healthy food in school.

• About Us
  FoodCorps is a nationwide team of AmeriCorps leaders that connects kids to real food and helps them grow up healthy. We do that by placing motivated leaders in limited-resource communities for a year of public service. Serving under the direction of local partner organizations, our service members focus on three areas of service:
  ● Hands-on learning: students grow, cook, and taste new foods, which builds their skills and changes food preferences
  ● Healthy school meals: the cafeteria experience steers students towards the healthiest options and gets them excited to try new healthy foods
  ● Schoolwide culture of health: as a whole, the school community and environment – from hallways to classrooms to cafeteria to grounds – celebrates healthy food. We measure our success in terms of changes in children, schools, and systems.
• Our Impact
  FoodCorps is creating a future in which all our nation’s children know what healthy food is, care where it comes from, and have access to it every day. When our work is done, generations that follow will grow up enveloped in a vibrant school food environment––and will go on to lead healthier, more productive and longer lives.
