FoodCorps partners with schools and communities to nourish kids’ health, education, and sense of belonging. Our AmeriCorps members serve alongside educators and school nutrition leaders to provide kids with nourishing meals, food education, and culturally affirming experiences with food that celebrate and nurture the whole child. Building on our service program, FoodCorps develops leaders, grows networks, and advocates for policy change in service of every kid’s health and wellbeing.

We partner directly with schools to teach kids about growing, cooking, and eating nourishing food, and advocate for broad investment in food education.

Food is central to kids’ physical health, emotional wellbeing, and sense of belonging. And schools are the opportune places for kids to connect to food through hands-on, experiential learning. We partner with schools and communities that have been most impacted by systemic racism and classism, serving urban, rural, and Indigenous communities where our collaboration can make a lasting difference.
