This award funds the approved 2022-23 Public Health AmeriCorps Program. No member may enroll prior to the approved start date of the member enrollment period. Your 2022-23 regulatory match is 0%.

FoodCorps proposes to have 200 AmeriCorps members who will connect children to healthy food and promote healthy behaviors in schools with high rates of students that are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals across Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington D.C.

At the end of the first program year, FoodCorps AmeriCorps members will be responsible for measurably improved children's preference for and behavior toward eating healthy foods, thereby meeting the critical nutritional needs of children and addressing the health problems that hold children back from reaching their full potential.

In addition, AmeriCorps members will leverage 2,000 volunteers who will be engaged in promoting healthy foods to children and supporting long-term, healthy changes to the school food environments that affect children's dietary behavior.

After their year of service, at least 40 FoodCorps AmeriCorps members will pursue future engagement in the public health sector.
