2020-2021 Fall to Spring Youth Ambassador Partner Application

For the Fall to Spring Youth Ambassador program, partners can apply for one youth ambassador to work part-time over the fall and spring semesters to work on projects/activities related to child nutrition and access to meals (roughly 10-15 hours/week over two semesters, not exceeding 300 hours). Each partner will need to submit an application that includes creating a work plan and a short-list of potential locations in which to recruit for the positions if approved.  As you know, we rely on the partners to support recruitment at the local level.

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, remote work is highly encouraged for the youth ambassador program for the health and safety of students. Please outline projects that can be done remotely with supervision. If field/on-site work is essential, please describe the projects in detail and the protections in place to support students to limit/prevent exposure to COVID-19. Following approval of the application, Share Our Strength will enter into a grant agreement with approved partners to provide the funding for intern stipends. Partner organizations are required to pay stipends directly to students (equal to $4500 over two semesters).
