Jardin de Los Ninos school garden

Jardin de los Ninos is a Nationally Acreddited Early Childhood Learning Center located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We provide free and much needed childcare to homeless and near homeless families. Jardin serves children from ages 6 weeks thru 5th grade in our After School Program and averages between 50-80 enrolled at a time. We are seeking to start a school garden to provide the families and children with an education about agriculture and better eating habits. The school garden project is being spearheaded by Bridget Hughes, a full-time Americorps member at Jardin de los Ninos.

Incheon English Village

Incheon English Village is the first English village in Incheon and is the leading professional English institution in South Korea. ICEV’s main focus is on pragmatic learning through various experiences in real-life situations, rather than memorization-based learning, allowing the students to be able to enhance the ability to fluently express one’s own community and culture on a global scale. ICEV's curriculum is based on eco-friendly hands-on activities in order to help students build a sense of appreciation for nature.

Crossroads, Meatless Mondays

 Crossroads, Inc. is a six month residential program for women transitioning out of prison. The women in the program live in the two Crossroads houses in Claremont while completing the Crossroads curriculum. Both houses have organic gardens, and one of the houses recently created the space to keep a flock of chickens. Crossroads program curriculum is designed to reduce recividism rates and offers such programs like drug/alcohol couseling, job training, life skills, and healthy living. Meatless Mondays is one of the required programs.

Cultivating Dreams

 Cultivating Dreams is a student-run nonprofit organization that oversees an organic garden inside the California Institution for Women (CIW), a prison in Corona, CA. The garden is maintained through the collective effort of the women inside and volunteers from the Claremont College community. The fruits and vegetables grown in the garden are sent in the prison’s main kitchen or intensive care unit. Cultivating Dreams could not function without the support of the prison staff and warden of CIW.
