About me 

As an aspiring teacher, my mission is to educate students about food insecurity among their peers in the United States and empower them to take action to address this issue. Through interactive lessons, community service projects, and partnerships with local organizations, we should aim to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote empathy and compassion among students. We aim to inspire the next generation of leaders to create a more equitable and compassionate society where no child goes hungry.

 Food insecurity among youth refers to the lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life for children and adolescents. It is a complex issue influenced by various factors, including economic conditions, household resources, and access to affordable and nutritious food. Youth who experience food insecurity may only sometimes know where their next meal will come from or have limited access to sufficient and healthy food options. This can harm their physical health, mental well-being, and overall development.

Educating youth about food insecurity is important because it raises awareness and understanding of the issue, empowers individuals to advocate for change and take action, improves health outcomes, and addresses broader social justice issues. This education is crucial for creating a more compassionate, informed, and proactive community that works towards ending hunger and ensuring all young people have access to nutritious food.
