    Hello VCC Community!

    Just wanted to share that the application for the Spring 2024 round of our Community Food Systems Mentorship Program is now open through Monday, February 5th!

    Please feel free to apply and forward this announcement with your networks and contacts as appropriate to others who might benefit from this program.

    <b style=””>Program Overview

    Through participation in this program, leaders have an opportunity to cultivate deep, long-term, and intergenerational relationships that nourish their capacity, skillfulness, and resilience for social transformation work. In return, they can offer the wisdom of their own lived experiences with their mentors.

    This year, we are honored to work with 12 nationally respected mentors, offering a wide range of experience in various aspects of food systems and leadership work:
