Our People
We are actively working to end global hunger by mobilizing the rising generation of global citizens and strategic changemakers
Tori Palma
FeelGood Program Officer
Tori joined the FeelGood movement in 2017 at the University of California, Santa Barbara where she graduated with bachelor’s degrees in Global Studies and German in 2021. Tori served in different leadership roles with UCSB FeelGood and was inspired to join The Hunger Project as an intern. Tori spent two semesters interning with the Investor Engagement team, working closely with FeelGood. This included leading the first movement-wide, annual peer-to-peer fundraising event, Move to End Hunger. After graduating, Tori spent time honoring her fundraising and program development skills at Pachamama Alliance, but could not stay away from the work that first inspired her at The Hunger Project. Tori joined THP staff in June 2022 managing the day-to-day operations of our hunger-ending program with our student changemakers
Advisory Council
FeelGood’s Advisory Council is composed of volunteers from the program, including students and alumni of the FeelGood movement. They are an integral part of inviting co-creation and collaboration with youth. Our movement was developed by college students and we continue to inform our strategy, priorities, and response through the insight and perspective of current students and alumni
