training support
Bring Hunger Action Heroes Unite! to your classroom.
Every teacher implementing the curriculum completes a
90-minute training first, so you're not figuring it out alone.
Your time is valuable: complete both modules, and a check for $250 will be mailed to your school, and you will be emailed a professional development certificate. Module 1 is 30 to 40 minutes of video to watch on your own time. Module 2 is a one-hour live call that walks through the curriculum and how the Hunger Action Heroes Unite! National Challenge fits in.
Live sessions run every week: Tuesdays from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. PT, or Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. PT. If neither session works, email us at [email protected], and we will find a time that does.

They did this through the following self-directed activities:

Proof that when kids are empowered, they find ways to change the world. 🧡
