Working toward a bachelor’s degree in public policy at Duke University, Jack Forlines has completed courses on topics such as entrepreneurial opportunity and policy analysis. Jack Forlines also serves as the director of operations for the Duke Food Recovery Network (FRN).
FRN was established in 2011 and has grown into a large student movement against hunger and food waste. More than 200 chapters in 44 states have recovered and shared nearly two million pounds of food. FRN expects this number to continue growing and encourages leaders to start their own campus chapters.
However, individuals who apply need to be dedicated to getting an FRN chapter up and running. This typically requires two to four hours of work per week during the semester with regular responsiveness to phone and email communications.
Once a chapter is accepted, applicants are set up with a national team member from FRN. The organization currently works only with colleges and universities.
