The mission of Hunger Intervention Program (HIP) is to increase food security across all stages of life for underserved populations in north King County, Washington through nutritious meals, educational programs, and anti-hunger advocacy.

HIP operates a range of direct service programs to address childhood hunger, food insecurity among adults, and the special nutrition needs of seniors and people experiencing homelessness. HIP offers cooking/nutrition education classes and food justice workshops to build community power. Beyond these major program areas, HIP is actively engaged with local, statewide, and national coalitions of food justice organizations to advocate for policy-level changes to address hunger.

Students will have the opportunity to connect with meal program participants, including seniors and people experiencing homelessness, evaluate social service needs, and help with referrals.

Students will help with program evaluations, including potentially co-leading focus groups and connecting with program participants one-on-one. Students will also have the opportunity to help with food justice workshops or classes, including content development, facilitation, and data analysis.

Students will have the opportunity to help with organizational policies and practices and legislative advocacy. Students will co-lead advocacy efforts for the organization during the WA State legislative sessions, follow different anti-hunger and anti-poverty bills as they move through the legislative process, engage community members and volunteers in advocacy processes, and write updates.
