Youth Engagement

Full Plates believes that the best solutions come from those most impacted by the systems we’re working to change. When it comes to school meal programs, we strive to lift up youth experiences and create opportunities for students to engage with these programs. Read on to find different ways to collaborate with your community around food insecurity, whether you identify as youth, adult, or anywhere in between.
