The Urban School Food Alliance is a nonprofit collaboration that brings together the school food departments of eleven of the largest school districts in the country. Working in concert, these districts use their combined purchasing power to improve the health and quality of school food procurements while driving down the costs. The goals are to advance U.S. school food procurement in a “win-win-win” manner that serves students, school districts, and the environment.

In partnership, the Urban School Food Alliance (the Alliance) and FoodCorps work jointly to improve the quality of school food by leveraging the unique power of school food service operators. FoodCorps provides backbone support to the Alliance via staff capacity, freeing up the Alliance Board and districts to focus on the overarching procurement strategy that drives health and sustainability in school food.

*FoodCorps is working as a search agent to assist with the hiring of this role. FoodCorps and the Alliance are separate organizations and operate under separate operating boards and budgets.
