Community Food Systems Fellowship Virtual Info Session

Date/Time: Oct. 10, 2025, 1:00 - 2:00 pm

We will be holding a virtual informational session on 10/10 at 1pm ET to share more about Vital Village’s 2026 Community Food Systems Fellowship. Applications for the fellowship will be open through November 10th at 5 pm ET!

 

About the fellowship: 

This 18-month leadership program aims to increase opportunities for diverse local food system leaders to build their skills, capacity, and networks through a series of community design labs on participatory engagement and human centered design approaches, monthly learning sessions with other food systems leaders, and individualized technical assistance. Through these opportunities, the fellowship hopes to strengthen community engagement and leadership of caregivers/families, uplift strengths-based narratives, and foster collaborative leadership that scales community identified solutions and cross sector partnerships.  

Selected fellows will receive a stipend and can also apply for project innovation grants that can total up to $5,000.
