Student Engagement
For students in middle school and high school looking to get involved with their community and make a difference, we have the perfect opportunities for you!
Teen Ambassador Program
Take on a leadership role and commit your time and talent to advance the Grassroots Grocery mission in your community.
This is a selective program designed for high school students eager to collaborate with like-minded student leaders from neighboring high schools and communities. Teen Ambassadors will meet (virtually) each month to share ideas and gain the tools needed to become a meaningful local representative.

Join the Student Food Recovery Task Force!
Jump on board and be a part of this awesome thing where your actions can make real change in your community. It’s called the Student Food Recovery Task Force.
New York City-wide and beyond, a youth-led movement is building to reduce waste and help neighbors. Students at all grades are forming clubs to tackle food insecurity.
These volunteers rescue quality surplus food from their school cafeterias and elsewhere and deliver it to free community fridges.
Every other month, they come together virtually to learn from other youth leaders. Co-hosted by Grassroots Grocery and FoodRecovery.org, experienced youth and brand-new interested students come together to learn from each other.
