The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Leadership Council connects young professionals interested in getting involved in their community and state through engagement with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. These dedicated individuals, ages 24 to 35, volunteer their time and creativity to raise awareness about the issue of hunger and increase the visibility of the Regional Food Bank and its mission of "Fighting Hunger…Feeding Hope" in Oklahoma.
Applications for Leadership Council, Class V, will be available spring 2019. For more information about the Leadership Council, contact Kendra Loper, kloper@regionalfoodbank.org or 405-600-3172.
“If you’re looking for a way to connect and create impact, this group is a brilliant place to start. It has given me a real platform to fuse what I do for work 8 hours every day to the work the Regional Food Bank has done for the past 40 years in the state of Oklahoma. They are breaking barriers, educating others, and removing stigmas associated with hunger daily – and that is something I can truly get behind." –Morgan, Class III
Leadership Council members receive special access to volunteer opportunities, networking events and social events, as well as educational and informational programs designed to appeal to Oklahoma's active young professionals in the community. If you have any questions please contact:

“I applied to the RFBO Leadership Council because I was largely unfamiliar with the work that the Regional Food bank of Oklahoma does and I thought it would be a good way to get involved with a meaningful cause. Since joining I’ve learned about the full impact of food insecurity throughout Oklahoma communities and ways that I can positively contribute towards improving the daily lives of Oklahomans in need of a little help." – Klaas, Class III
