Apply to the Good School Food Leaders Training for this fall!
Are you a parent or caregiver of a current Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) student? Do you want to help improve school meals and create healthier school environments for all students?
The Good School Food (GSF) Leaders Program is a selective leadership training that equips parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to advocate for healthier school food, stronger wellness policies, and meaningful family engagement in Milwaukee Public Schools.
Selected participants will:
-
Learn how MPS school meals and USDA child nutrition programs work
-
Build advocacy and leadership skills
-
Connect with other parents and caregivers committed to improving school food
-
Receive $20 per hour for successfully completing the training
The Fall 2026 cohort includes a virtual orientation, four in-person training sessions, and a brief exit interview. Following graduation, Advocates complete a minimum of five hours of leadership service supporting the Good School Food Project.
Applications are open through September 11, 2026. Because space is limited, applicants will participate in a brief interview before final cohort selections are made.
If you're ready to help shape healthier school meals and school environments for Milwaukee students, we encourage you to apply today.
