Campus Kitchen Mankato is run and operated by the students of Minnesota State University, Mankato. Many different student groups volunteer their time and energy to cook dinners and deliver them to those families in need.
A special group of students, called Midwest Campus Compact Citizen—Scholar Fellows, "Campus Fellow" for short, take an intense leadership role in Campus Kitchen Mankato. They are coordinating Special Events, Food Donations/Tracking, Client Relations, Public Relations and Advertising, Safety Coordination as well as other areas. These are all first generation college students learning the skills and abilities that cannot be learned in the classroom.
The M3C Fellows Program is an AmeriCorps Education Award Program. Students who are involved in this program will receive an education award to use toward tuition, loan payments, etc. in return for community service. The program strives to develop a peer network and provide support that enables students to serve as agents of civic engagement to respond effectively to local community issues. Further, it seeks to foster a deep appreciation and understanding of democratic values and citizenship among participants, and nurture the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that lead to a lifelong commitment to active community and civic engagement.
