Mission: The Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program develops leaders committed to finding innovative and lasting solutions to hunger and poverty worldwide.
Vision: The Leland Program promotes programs and policies to ensure that all people have a right to culturally appropriate and nutritious food by:
- Broadening fellows’ understanding of the causes and effects of hunger and poverty;
- Building partnerships with field and policy organizations committed to working in solidarity with people in local communities experiencing hunger and poverty and developing programs and policies which directly benefit people facing poverty and injustice;
- Supporting fellows to serve with distinction in their host organizations and communities;
- Providing opportunities for mentorship and professional growth;
- Facilitating linkages between field activities and relevant policy and advocacy initiatives;
- Encouraging fellows to form collaborative partnerships across sectors and organizations;
- Challenging fellows to harness their potential and skills as leaders;
- Creating a community of change agents working towards social justice.
The Leland Program shares with future leaders our vision of a world free from hunger and provides these leaders with the tools they need to work toward this goal throughout their lives.
CHC will also support program alumni as they continue to implement their personal and professional anti-hunger missions in the years to come.
