The NHFPC Food Advocate training is taking place on October 26th, and will be followed by an 11 hour internship. The training is being organized by the New Haven Food Policy Council, the Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE), and End Hunger CT!
The Food Advocate training is designed to train New Haven residents who have received food assistance to become their own advocates. Through basic skills and advocacy coaching, this training and internship provides the opportunity for people to tell their own personal stories and make a difference at the policy and community levels.
