Food Security Communications Strategist
 
 
 
Wake County Cooperative Extension (WCCE), in collaboration with several partners, is implementing a Food Security VISTA Program which is primarily focused on increasing food security within Wake County, NC. The program includes one VISTA Leader and nine VISTA Members. The Food Security Communications Strategist VISTA will build the capacity of Wake County Cooperative Extension’s Food Security Program by developing communication strategies and tools to improve food insecure residents’ access to resources across towns and departments in Wake County. The VISTA will also plan & lead several community outreach campaigns and events to increase awareness of food insecurity in Wake County and secure additional resources for community organizations fighting hunger in Wake County. As a result of the Communication Strategist service, food insecure residents will be better informed on how to access and services and partners will have the knowledge and resources to better serve their community.
