PHENND Fellows- Nazun Communications Assistant
 
 
 
Nazun (formerly Challah for Hunger) builds communities inspired and equipped to take action against hunger. Our chapters on college campuses and at community sites come together to fight hunger in two ways: through philanthropy, we raise funds for 80+ organizations annually that provide direct services to people experiencing hunger in real time; through education and advocacy, we build equitable and sustainable solutions that last. Before COVID-19, 39% of college students experienced food insecurity; the pandemic has increased basic needs insecurity for students. However, stereotypes about the “traditional” college experience, stigma around asking for help, and lack of access to campus, state, and federal resources lead many students to suffer in silence. We believe those who are most directly impacted by an issue have the most power to create change. That’s why our work to end campus hunger starts by empowering students to be leaders in the fight against it; we provide them with the training and resources to make change on campus and beyond, all while amplifying their work and voices to larger audiences off campus. Our initiative to combat campus hunger, trains 150+ student leaders annually on effective advocacy and communication and provides tools for implementing new resources and policies on campus. To date we have helped students on 30+ campuses successfully implement long-term changes to combat campus hunger. Campus hunger remains a hidden issue, and a major hurdle our students face in asking for help or advocating for new resources is the lack of understanding by non-students of how pervasive it is. The VISTA’s work will focus on amplifying and deepening the Campus Hunger Project by helping us reach new audiences, boosting student voices, and building relationships and understanding through strategic communications. Our ultimate goal is to develop a coalition of individuals and organizations committed to the fight against campus hunger.
