What is FoodCorps?
FoodCorps partners with schools and communities to nourish kids’ health, education, and sense of belonging.
What You’ll Do

- School Nutrition – You’ll work alongside school nutrition leaders to procure and promote nourishing school meals.
What are the Benefits?
You’ll receive:
- Living Stipend – $33,000 for the full 11-month term
- Segal AmeriCorps Education Award – An award of $6,895, available after completion of your service term, for repaying qualified student loans and paying current educational expenses at eligible institutions of higher education and training programs
- Health Insurance – Health, dental, and vision coverage
- Professional Development – A year’s worth of trainings—and a passionate community of peers—to prepare you for a career in food education, school nutrition, policy, or another relevant field
