FEEST

2026-27 Award - Systems & Policy Change - $135,000 per year

FEEST will build youth power by organizing students of color to advance mental health, food justice, and school well-being through youth-led campaigns, participatory research, and policy advocacy across Seattle and Highline schools. (Updated November 12, 2026)

Previously: FEEST continued to develop low-income BIPOC and immigrant youth leaders to build collective power and organize for transformative and systemic change in their schools, including building a culture of holistic health equity in schools in South Seattle and South King County. While FEEST historically focused on food justice and health equity, recently, youth have led towards expanding the focus to also include mental health supports and transformative justice in schools in order to more fully address the barriers youth are facing in school to better learn and thrive.
