Local Food Ambassador Program – NC 10% Campaign
College students participating in the Local Food Ambassador Program are interested in climate change and overall resiliency in their communities. Developing youth leadership can help build processes and awareness for how communities can respond to and bounce back from climate change effects as they arise.
The Local Food Ambassador Program is a collaboration with six publicly-funded Historically Black or American Indian Institutions that are part of the University of North Carolina School System. These schools were chosen intentionally to:
- Center the NC 10% Campaign’s university-based local foods work in communities that are adversely affected by inequities in the food system
- Connect with and magnify existing community-based programs that support resilience to these structural inequities
- Support a more inclusive and equitable approach to engaging students to become future food system leaders committed to food access for all.
