[2] Special Internship Opportunity with Campus Kitchens, Application Deadline April 1

This summer the Bonner Foundation in addition to its new fellowship program has partnered with a few other national partners to develop and identify high-level summer internship placements for students in the network. We hope to continue finding opportunities for Bonners to get plugged in and gain valuable professional experience doing work that really matters.

 

Campus Kitchens is a national organization that empowers student volunteers to fight hunger in their community. On 33 university and high school campuses like ours across the country, students transform unused food from dining halls, grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers’ markets into meals that are delivered to local agencies serving those in need. By taking the initiative to run a community kitchen, students develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills, along with a commitment to serve their community, that they will carry with them into future careers. Each Campus Kitchen goes beyond meals by using food as a tool to promote poverty solutions, implement garden initiatives, participate in nutrition education, and convene food policy events.

This summer the Bonner Foundation in addition to its new fellowship program has partnered with a few other national partners to develop and identify high-level summer internship placements for students in the network. We hope to continue finding opportunities for Bonners to get plugged in and gain valuable professional experience doing work that really matters.

 

Campus Kitchens is a national organization that empowers student volunteers to fight hunger in their community. On 33 university and high school campuses like ours across the country, students transform unused food from dining halls, grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers’ markets into meals that are delivered to local agencies serving those in need. By taking the initiative to run a community kitchen, students develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills, along with a commitment to serve their community, that they will carry with them into future careers. Each Campus Kitchen goes beyond meals by using food as a tool to promote poverty solutions, implement garden initiatives, participate in nutrition education, and convene food policy events.
