Youth Advisory Council

FIND Food Bank Youth Advisory Hunger Council 2022

 Ten student leaders from across the Coachella Valley were selected to help advise FIND on hunger in our communities and apply new ideas to provide local solutions to child hunger. Council members meet every other month to uplift our community on issues surrounding hunger. The purpose of this council is to educate the next generation on the realities and stigmas associated with systemic hunger while elevating the skills of youth community leaders. Council members were selected for their willingness to go above and beyond to speak out and serve their community.

YAC is leading the change of tomorrow by discussing solutions and taking action to address issues facing our community today.
