We’re thrilled to announce that Teens for Food Justice (TFFJ) has won the OneGroup Innovation Award at the 4th Annual NYC Imagine Awards! This award is a testament to the impact of our Food Policy Internship, where students in the TFFJ program actively advocate for healthier food choices across New York City. Through this internship, students learn firsthand about food justice, build critical advocacy skills, and become leaders in pushing for positive change in their communities.
This year’s Imagine Awards saw over 230 nonprofit applicants, so being recognized as a finalist in both the OneGroup Innovation Award and the Your Part-Time Controller, LLC Rising Start Award categories—and winning in Innovation—is a huge honor. We’re also grateful for the generous support from Imagine NYC, OneGroup, Webster Bank, and Your Part-Time Controller, LLC who make it possible for us to keep expanding our reach.
To everyone who stands with us in our mission—thank you. Your support is what helps us create a sustainable, food-secure future led by young people passionate about food justice. Together, we’re building stronger, healthier communities! ❦
