Ways We Partner

Growing Food, Growing Community

  • By teaching gardening, foraging, and other food production skills, participants can begin to understand the benefits of growing their own food and the resources and people available to help them.

Building Skills and Promoting Health

  • Our team provides hands-on cooking experiences that focus on using local, cultural, or balanced food options. Participants acquire skills in nutrition, teamwork, and kitchen safety, enabling them to make healthier choices and develop lifelong culinary abilities.

Integrating STEAM Themes

  • Our programs incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) concepts. Participants explore food systems through engaging projects that promote problem-solving and critical thinking.
