The Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellowship,
a project of the Congressional Hunger Center, is a unique
leadership development opportunity for motivated individuals
seeking to make a difference in the struggle to eliminate
hunger and poverty.
Each year about twenty participants are selected
for this twelve-month program. Fellows are placed for six
months with urban and rural community-based organizations
all over the country involved in fighting hunger at the local
level, such as food banks, community kitchens, and local advocacy
agencies. They then move to Washington, DC to complete the
year with six months of work at national organizations involved
in the anti-hunger and poverty movement, including national
advocacy organizations, think tanks, and federal agencies.
Through this unique program, the Bill Emerson National Hunger
Fellows Program develops hunger-fighting leaders with a deep
understanding of hunger and poverty at both the local and
national level that enables them to find innovative solutions
and create the political will to end hunger.
