VISION FOR 2022

Matthew looks back at our impact in 2021 and ahead at our new initiatives, like PataSchool, and continued work cultivating an equitable future for youth by amplifying the value and power of food.

Our Work: Food Fellowship

The Food Fellowship is a paid six-week summer workforce development program for high schoolers centered around the food system. Students will learn transferable skills in farming, cooking, hospitality and customer service, as well as career-readiness, finance and business basics, and communication techniques.
