NEW Report:
In the fall of 2023, FEEST Students Organizers surveyed over 300 students across 5 schools on what they need on campus to support their mental health. We learned the top issues causing stress, what is getting in the way of their education, and most importantly, what youth need to thrive in the classroom.
In the winter students analyzed and then created an accessible way for their peers and decision makers to understand their learnings. We are proud to share their analysis with our wider community with the hopes that this resource can be used as a tool for securing more solutions to the things students need at school!
Healthy Food Round Table Policy Memo 2:
Rooted in the feedback our committee received from students and teachers at Evergreen, we found that providing students with fresh, free, and delicious food is a key ingredient for student success. When school meals and snacks provided to students are free and fresh, students feel a sense of security, increasing their likelihood to participate, collaborate and be present in the classroom.
Healthy Food Round Table Survey Summary 12/17/2019:
The HFRT committee envisioned a free snack program in local schools that would break down some of the barriers we identified in our 2018 Survey. In the fall of 2019, the vision of the Healthy Food Round Table became a reality at Evergreen High School. Read our summary on the second part of the survey we hosted!
FEEST x OSE: SPS Snack Pilot Qualitative Data:
In December 2019, FEEST staff interviewed students about their experience with the snack box pilot program. Interviews explored the freshness, cultural relevance, and accessibility of the snack boxes, as well as whether or not the snack boxes influenced students’ ability to learn and the overall culture of the school.

Youth are in the lead at FEEST because we know that change is not effective unless those most impacted by health inequities are the decision makers. Support youth leadership by donating today, OR sign up for our newsletter to get the latest from FEEST!
