Announcing the 2021 Zero Hunger Interns

Updates, Zero Hunger

We are delighted to announce the 17 members of the 4th Class of Zero Hunger Interns. These developing leaders will spend 10 weeks over the summer expanding the impact of anti-hunger organizations across the U.S., and developing the skills necessary to end hunger in their communities.

“We’re thrilled to be working with our fourth summer cohort of inspiring young leaders,” said Special Initiatives and Policy Manager Samantha Stevens. “They’ve all shown, through their coursework and campus and volunteer activities, that they have the dedication to be lifelong change-makers in the movement to end hunger, and have so much to offer to their host organizations.”

Notably different this year, many of the interns will be working with local service providers in communities across the country. “Because of the pandemic, historic numbers of people have relied on emergency food assistance,” said Stevens, “and direct service providers across the country need support as rates of food insecurity remain high. The Hunger Center and the Zero Hunger Internship is ready to help meet this need.”

The Zero Hunger Internship was launched in 2018 with support from the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation to build the knowledge and leadership skills of the next generation of young people who will end hunger by 2030. Along with our Hunger Fellowship programs and Zero Hunger Academy online learning platform, this internship supports our mission of developing, inspiring, and connecting leaders in the movement to end hunger, and to advocate for public policies that create a food secure world.
