The Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), a nonprofit public policy, research,
and advocacy organization that works to end hunger in the U.S., is seeking a
Child Nutrition Policy Analyst to support FRAC’s work to expand participation
in the child nutrition programs; to draft reports and analyze program data; to
provide technical assistance; and to develop on-line resources to support
efforts to increase participation. The Child Nutrition Policy Analyst will
report to FRAC’s Director of School and Out-of-School Time Programs.
Working with state agencies, cities, counties, nonprofits and others, this
Child Nutrition Policy Analyst will work to ensure that millions more children
are receiving the food they need, that families obtain the support such
programs provide, that child nutrition policies contribute as much as possible
to children’s wellness, and that the nutrition programs support low-income
children’s educational achievement and health. The successful candidate will
be able to analyze programmatic trends and data to support the implementation
of best practices and proven strategies to increase low-income children’s
access to the Child Nutrition Programs. This position offers opportunities to
gain experience as a program analyst, expertise on the child nutrition
programs, and to work in partnership with a wide range of national, state, and
local nonprofit organizations and government agencies.
