ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The 2026 Student Leadership and Alumni Action Council is here!
Join the 2026 Student Leadership and Alumni Action Council (SLAAC) cohort! SLAAC is a yearly fellowship led by Swipe Out Hunger, consisting of undergraduate and graduate students interested in professional development and grassroots organizing strategies through the lens of student food insecurity. SLAAC engages student leaders doing anti-hunger work on their campuses, and creates a space for those students to connect with each other as well as Swipe Out Hunger staff. Students in the SLAAC program can expect to gain skills relating to grassroots movement building and developing student basic needs programs. Students will also have opportunities to work with Swipe Out Hunger staff to ensure the student voice is represented in Swipe’s work.
Applications close at midnight PT on September 13, 2026. Learn more and apply today!
Sign up for the 2026 Leadership Council!
We are also looking for our 2026 Leadership Council! The Leadership Council consists of campus administrators who are leading food security programs on their campuses. As a member of the Leadership Council, you will have the opportunity to advocate for policy change, develop innovative solutions to campus food insecurity, reduce stigma, collaborate with national organizations, and expand hunger-fighting initiatives across the country. Leadership Council members are expected to meet once a month from October 2026 to May 2027 and will receive a $1,000 grant to support their school programming.
Applications close on September 18, 2026. Learn more and apply today!
