This project is the expansion of a pilot program in Detroit and supports additional Michigan parents with lived experience of hunger to be advocates for improved food access and food assistance in their communities through policy engagement, program change, and community engagement. 15 new parent “Fellows” in over 22 counties are provided with training and mentorship to engage with local, regional, and state legislation, programming, and media with the goal to achieve nutrition security.
