Send in your 2011 enrollment form today and inspire this generation of America's youth to become ambassadors of change!.

The Race Against Hunger is a service learning campaign that unites students from all over the world in the fight against global hunger and malnutrition. Tapping into the great potential of youth to become powerful agents of change, the Race aims to educate American students about the causes of global hunger and inspire them to be a part of the solution.

The educational component of the Race will involve subject-based learning activities to educate students about the issues that surround global hunger. We have designed these activities to meet curriculum requirements so that educators can easily implement them in a classroom setting. After the educational component, students will have the opportunity to become actively involved in the fight against hunger by participating in a “fun-run” event. Students will seek sponsorships for the “fun-run”, and the proceeds raised by students will directly support Action Against Hunger’s life-saving programs around the world. The Race can take place in a gym, on a track or sports field, around city blocks or in a local park, depending on what works best for your school. The program is designed to be tailored to fit the needs of each school, so be creative!
