Kirk of Kildaire Food Security and Workforce Development
 
 
 
Wake County Cooperative Extension (WCCE) is hosting a Food Security VISTA Program in collaboration with two partner sub-sites. VISTA Members will perform one-year assignments to improve food security in Wake County and build the capacity of their assigned site(s). Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian will be hosting a Food Security and Workforce Development position. The VISTA will build the capacity of Kirk of Kildaire by developing and implementing activities with the Western Regional Food Security group, working on the logistics of Kirk’s food hubs and developing partnerships to increase capacity to serve low-income neighbors. The member will build capacity of workforce development activities to increase food security. The Kirk pursues new partnerships to serve their beneficiaries and is limited by organization capacity and tired volunteers, which new partners will alleviate. This assignment has two main objectives: 1. Promote the Western Regional Food Security Action group and Kirk of Kildaire’s food hubs to improve their capacity to handle food security activities. 2. Build the capacity of Kirk of Kildaire’s workforce development efforts (tutoring, mentoring, Summer Programs, General Education Development, etc) that will lead to greater food security.
