What is the Food Systems Ambassador Program?
The Food Systems Ambassador Program works with six to twelve leaders for culturally specific communities through relationship building, intercultural exchange, program development and implementation.
Ambassadors will create culturally specific projects that aim to improve their communities' access to food security resources, address root causes of hunger and create engagement opportunities for a more inclusive democracy. Ambassadors will help to build trust, understanding and collaborative strength between their community, the other ambassador communities, Oregon Food Bank and the political and social service entities at local, state and federal levels. Ambassadors will receive interpretation and translation services to ensure that English language proficiency is not a barrier. Support will include: financial incentives and community grant funds, 1-on-1 support, group training around hunger-relief programs, farm and garden projects, leadership development, community fundraising, and civic engagement activities. Technological support will be provided to increase access to virtual meetings.
If you are interested in participating or collaborating in the program please contact cnegron@oregonfoodbank.org or ddinihanian@oregonfoodbank.org
