Our vision is that no college student is forced to choose between food and their education. Our current national initiative is the #FUELHigherEd campaign, a movement of individuals and organizations committed to advocating for fundamental, universal, equitable, and long-term state and federal policy solutions to college hunger.

The National Advocacy Intern (current US college student) will support the Campus Hunger Project in four main areas:

  • Research: conducting frequent research and synthesizing new data on basic needs in higher education
  • Tracking: updating weekly tracking reports on participation in Acts of Advocacy and impact of advocacy actions over time
  • Communications: support with writing newsletters and social media posts relating to CHP research and advocacy actions
  • Community building: individualized emails to campus network and relationship building with new organizational partnerships and volunteers
