The Central Texas Food Bank’s Youth Ambassador Program provides children, teens and students with opportunities for sustained engagement in our mission to end hunger in Central Texas. Youth Ambassadors create, advocate, volunteer and fundraise on behalf of the Food Bank, growing in leadership alongside the organization. The Youth Ambassador Program brings youth and families together and provides a flexible roadmap for youth who are looking to fulfill school, faith community, scouting or other requirements or who are simply pursuing independent development and learning.
