Avoid simply listing all of the programs WFP USA operates, as there are many. Instead, choose the one about which you feel most excited. Demonstrate your knowledge of the program; then, based on your experiences, share why you feel connected to it.

"After learning about all of WFP USA's programs, I feel the most excited about the food voucher and e-card program that allows families to select fresh food they wish to purchase. My first job as a social worker required me to assess families for eligibility to receive food vouchers. I was proud to contribute to work that resulted in dignity and choice for these families."

"As a mother and advocate for public health, World Food Program USA's Nutrition: First 1,000 Days program is extremely important to me. Too often, the nutritional well-being of new mothers and their babies is ignored in the immediate months following birth. This is especially true for low-income mothers. I am thrilled about the opportunity to join an organization that is not only passionate about this issue but is also doing something to directly address it."
