UlsterCorps initiates and supports creative collaborations that seek to educate, inspire, and explore causes and solutions to some of the challenges facing our community including:

• Working with the Mid-Hudson Coalition to End Hunger and Ulster County BOCES New Visions Health Career Explorations high school seniors to address the issues of hunger and develop a comprehensive “blueprint” that illustrates how to make adequate, nutritious food accessible every day, for every man, woman, and child in Ulster County;

• Arts for Ulster, raising funds and awareness for local non-profits through a collaborative group art exhibit and auction featuring 50 works by 50 artists for 50 causes in Ulster County;

• The Hudson Valley Hunger Banquet, which brings the world’s food inequalities to life and provides participants a firsthand experience how our decisions affect others in the world;

• Monthly Serve Together events highlighting volunteer opportunities in the community that family and friends can do together.
