What We Do

We’re working toward a future where every child has access to food education and nourishing food in school.

Our Strategy

Too many kids aren’t getting the nourishment they need. We expand access to nourishing school food at the individual, institutional, and societal level.

School Programs

Our corps members work directly with more than 150,000 children across the country, increasing food literacy through hands-on lessons and ensuring more fresh, local, student-driven meals on the lunch line.

Leadership Development

We elevate nourishing food as a key part of the education system by equipping educators and school nutrition leaders nationwide with the skills to drive change in their home communities.

Policy and Advocacy

We leverage evidence from our school programs and experiences from our network of leaders to advocate for state and federal policies that benefit millions of kids.
