Leadership Academies on Reducing Child Hunger through Afterschool and Summer Meals

Posted by on March 11, 2013

The next round of the “Cities Combating Hunger through Afterschool and Summer Meal Programs” initiative will begin with two regional leadership academies held in late May and early June, each of which will be open to 10 city teams.  These two-day trainings will provide three-person teams of city officials and other key stakeholders with information about federal funding for afterschool and summer meals; strategies for linking these programs to facilitate year-round provision of out-of-school meals; ideas for increasing children’s participation; and additional advice and best practices shared by national experts.  Travel costs for city teams will be covered by project funds.

Applications are due no later than March 25, 2013. For more information, please go to http://www.nlc.org/media-center/news-search/apply-now-for-leadership-academies-on-reducing-child-hunger-through-afterschool-and-summer-meals
