However, TFI's largest program is its Summer Youth Program, which employs 40 local high school students to work over the summer growing healthy food for the community, work in local hunger relief organizations, and participate in workshops on hunger and homelessness, money management, health, and more.

Coretta Scott King Women's Leadership Academy

At Coretta Scott King Women's School, several classes rotate for bi-weekly gardening and nutrition lessons.

Our afterschool program tends to the garden and harvests and cooks with the vegetables weekly.

Kids Cook!

 

Poor nutrition has significant impact on kids’ lives.  The problem is that kids don't know how to "eat healthy."  At Kids Cook!™ our hands-on cooking programs combat those issues by creating awareness and working to establish lifelong healthy behavior patterns.  Our mission is to provide children with hands-on cooking experience and to teach a wide variety of kitchen, and life, skills in a fun, safe environment.  Kids Cook!™  is a social enterprise and has three program components.

The "Beyond the Label" Project

The "Beyond the Label" project is an endeavor to engage students, parents and communities in interactive workshops training them to read "beyond the label" in an effort to truly understand how to read and analyze nutrition labels as well as how to identify healthy and unhealthy ingredients. This project forms the foundation of understanding upon which we build our other programs tailored to introducing the relationship between food choices and disease and the healing properties of foods as well as our program in food economics. 

Bloomington Community Orchard

Bloomington Community Orchard is an organization devoted to growing fruit for the community and growing our orcharding skills through educational opportunities. The publicly owned orchard is maintained by volunteers, and the harvest is available to everyone in the community. The Education Team provides educational programming to people of all ages through presentations, workshops and educational tours, consultation, and representation at community events. Our Junior Stewards Program offers year-round hands-on educational opportunities to area youth. 

Kanyon Kids Garden

Our school is very remote and a 40 minute drive to a grocery store and even farther for larger shopping choices. Our school has a population of 61 students and 80% of our student body are First Nations Peoples. Living in such a remote area meant less healthy choices for students and community members so it came about that the students wanted to grow food for the lunch program but also for community members as well.

Ecodiet

Ecodiet promotes an animal friendly, organic, non GM, non chemical additives and non dairy diet for both health and our enviroment, with the goal of helping people to learn more about nutrition and to avoid animal abuse and any highly processed, genetically modified food products.
