Providence Public Schools is not seeking new Corps Members for the 2025-2026 term.

The mission of the Providence Child Nutrition Program is to prepare all students for learning by ensuring access to quality nutritious meals with a focus on environmental sustainability and financial stewardship. Our goals are to

  1. Link student nutrition to academic achievement;
  2. Increase student participation in food programs;
  3. Engage parents and community in food programs.

We are focused on improving food quality to reach the outcome of increased student meal participation, satisfaction, academic achievement, and the financial performance of the program. Providence is the capital city of Rhode Island. It is home to Brown University, Providence College, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Johnson and Wales University. It is the third largest city in New England, known for its excellent food scene. WaterFire events at Waterplace Park are a unique nighttime outdoor experience along the Providence River. Explore Roger Williams Park or check out the beautiful walking bridge overseeing Narragansett Bay at India Point Park and take a stroll along the shops of Westminster Street. Providence has a long history and beautiful parks. The neighborhoods of Providence each have distinct vibes and flavors of the immigrant communities who have made the city their home over the centuries. There is a thriving arts scene with the Providence Performing Arts Center, Trinity Repertory Company, Festival Ballet of Providence, and more. A short drive will take you to any part of the state, including the beautiful city of Newport and the beaches of South County. Urban agriculture has become a vital part of the community.
