good but could have been better - Food Educator FoodCorps Employee Review

The former president and co-CEO is gone! The longtime founder and a new president, who is great, have taken over leadership.

I was just reading about the ouster of Ben Jealous at the Sierra Club and I felt like I was reading about FoodCorps under the former co-CEO. Fortunately, his departure was not public like Jealous’s but the former co-CEO at FC wreaked the same kind of havoc and unhappiness. The org is still recovering from that but is mostly there because the founder and new president are both awesome.

Great pay and benefits compared to other AmeriCorps programs. The day to day experience varies from site to site but I had a very flexible schedule and self directed days which I found very nice. I got a lot of great professional experience.

FoodCorps is definitely going through some growing pains after losing their AmeriCorps grant and significant layoffs.
