BECOME A REP

As a WILL WORK FOR FOOD Chapter Representative, you will be given an opportunity to bring our “volunteering locally to save children globally” initiative to your high school or college. We will help you make a schedule and develop goals to promote WILL WORK FOR FOOD and mobilize your peers. You will work with friends, classes, clubs, teams and school faculty to increase awareness, promote community service and raise money to help save severely malnourished children.

You only need to expect to spend about 2-3 hours per week on your position. One of your first responsibilities will be to build a team to help you establish WILL WORK FOR FOOD at your school.
