MCPS high school students: Apply by Monday, January 15 to Make the Most of Food 2024!

During the seriously fun 6-week action research course starting Friday, January 19, a selected team of five students will receive virtual leadership training and then recruit teams of households and lead them in completing a 4-week household food waste challenge.


In the 4 week challenge, households track 7 days of data on discarded food. Households then share ideas, take action, and measure results through tracking another 7 days of discarded food data.


Each student leader will receive a $100 cash award if the whole team motivates at least 100 people to complete the challenge and reports a combined food waste reduction of at least 50%. 


Students will have the opportunity to participate in (4) online facilitated team meetings and share detailed feedback to inform the Make the Most of Food action research project.


Leaders who complete the course will have the opportunity to present findings and recommendations to government decision-makers and academics in the food waste field. 


No previous leadership or research experience is necessary. 


This course is part of the Make the Most of Food action research project led by Recycle Leaders. The course instructor, Erin Petersen, is a recent MCPS graduate and experienced Make the Most of Food action project leader.


For more information see the Course Page. To apply, fill out this form by Monday, January 15.
