Overview
In an innovative partnership, The Health Trust has joined together with AmeriCorps and 11 local organizations to form the Silicon Valley HealthCorps. The goal of this collaboration is to use gardens, farm to school programs and the work of AmeriCorps members to bring fresh fruits, vegetables and education to residents of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. The program seeks to engage the community as active participants in promoting and sustaining community and school gardens, and to provide a coordinated, county-wide approach to expanding garden based learning. The program will also increase access to fresh produce through the development of new healthy food resources such as community and school gardens, farmers markets, and community supported agriculture programs.

The Silicon Valley HealthCorps is now recruiting members for the 2011-2012 program year! The HealthCorps offers both full and part time positions, a living allowance stipend, and a post-service education award. Read more information.
