In underserved communities across the country, our AmeriCorps leaders teach students about healthy food through hands-on lessons, partner with farmers and food service workers to create nutritious and delicious school meals, and collaborate with communities to foster a long-term culture of health. Building on this foundation of direct impact, FoodCorps pursues systemic strategies – like policy change, leadership development, and supply chain shifts – that will benefit all of our nation’s 100,000 schools and the students they serve.   What We’re Looking For: FoodCorps is seeking a full-time Recruitment Manager to provide critical support to the recruitment efforts of our rapidly scaling AmeriCorps service program.
