Project Summary:
Civic Leadership & Engagement Corps (CLEC) is an AmeriCorps program through Washington Campus Compact (WACC) that believes all students should be empowered with the skills and resources to thrive in school and beyond in order to become the compassionate leaders and engaged citizens of tomorrow. The program aims to recruit and mobilize AmeriCorps members and student volunteers to deliver direct service support in a variety of focus areas in Washington and Idaho. CLEC fosters student leadership, campus-community partnerships, civic and community engagement, and knowledge networks focused on improving the retention and success of underrepresented students, increasing awareness and support for equity and inclusion, and building sustainable campus/community partnerships and resilient communities.

Food insecurity is a prevalent issue facing many Washington State University students. Nearly 30% of students at four-year institutions have experienced food insecurity and 14% were affected by homelessness. In the spring of 2021, WSU students passed referendum 50-1 which added a $5 per semester fee for undergraduate students with the sole purpose of providing sustained funding for a campus food pantry to address student hunger. This fee that was passed by 75% of the student body has catapulted WSU's ability to address challenges associated with food insecurity in a systematic and sustained way. This amazing opportunity has allowed WSU to bring on an AmeriCorps member to hyper-focus on pantry operations, building out pantry policies and procedures, establishing food procurement systems, and supporting and managing pantry staff and volunteers.

Position Description:
This member will work with campus and community partners to support pantry programs such as cooking demos, resource referrals, and workshops; energize meal plan card-swipe program outreach and management; coordinate campus Pantry food drives; and support campus gardening and composting efforts.
