For the fourth time, Campus Kitchen student volunteers and staff gathered for the annual CKP Leadership Conference. This year, participants had the opportunity to experience two Campus Kitchens in action at Augsburg College and Minnesota State University, Mankato. The two-site conference built upon the theme: Urban Hunger. Rural Hunger. One Solution: You! The CKP Cargill interns met for the first time at the national conference and shared information about their projects with one another and the larger group. Poster presentations which focused on the projects were set up for all to view and the new CKP Cargill website was highlighted at the conference's opening reception. Representatives from Cargill were on hand to meet with the students and take plenty of photos. While in Mankato, the CKP Cargill interns took time to meet and disucss their projects in detail and share best practices. They may be serving very different groups, but they all have something in common and can share information. Email addresses were exchanged along with ideas, recipes and promises to talk more when everyone got back to their home Campus Kitchen!

The Campus Kitchens Project (CKP) is pleased to announce a partnership with Cargill to support 10 semester or quarter long internships at Campus Kitchens around the country each year for the next two years. The partnership will enable CKP to provide mini-grants, and supplemental education to Campus Kitchens and schools working to implement a Campus Kitchen hosting Cargill interns; meanwhile, it also provides Campus Kitchens with a way to fund and strengthen current student internship offerings.
Each fall, a cohort of 10 interns across the country will lead their campus' participation in the program. The major components of Cargill Intern Program:
- An innovative initiative at each Campus Kitchen and/or school
- Collaboration with fellow interns at peer Campus Kitchens
- Participation in a monthly lecture and reflection series (virtual series)
- Presentation at CKP Leadership Conference
- Leadership Development opportunities
