The mission of Green City Market is to improve the availability of a diverse range of high quality foods through connecting local producers and farmers to chefs, food organizations, and the greater Chicagoland community.  Green City Market achieves this mission by supporting small family farms and through providing education to adults and children about local, fresh, sustainably raised produce and products. Green City Market aims to create a sustainable food system in Chicago through our markets, outreach, and educational programming.

Oregon Afterschool for Kids

Oregon ASK is a collaboration of public and private organizations and community members which seeks to address common issues and concerns across all out-of-school time services, including  child care, recreation, education, and youth development. As an afterschool intermediary, we connect many stakeholders in the third space of learning, beyond the classroom and the home. We work to build the capacity of afterschool programs and provide training and technical assistance to program providers.

MARC Community and School Garden

Our garden program is one piece of our community's goal to make healthy food accessible and affordable for all residents. Our goal is for students to be invested in both their own health and the environment; we believe they can do this by working outside and developing a relationship with the garden space. When students are involved in the process of growing and preparing food, we believe they will be more excited to eat fresh foods.

Monte del Sol Charter School

Monte del Sol is a charter school that was founded under principles of sustainablity; a school garden fits well into the school's values. The mission of the garden program is to engage students in integrated, experiential lessons in an outdoor study area; to create, in collaboration with students, a productive, sustainable, organic garden; to instill values, grow stewardship, and promote activism regarding issues of food, environmental, and social justice; and to encourage critical thinking concerning personal health and diet.

Greiner School Garden (Proposed)

Our proposed program for SY 2016-2017 is a school garden. Our goal is to establish a living laboratory/learning environment for our middle school students where they can learn in the various content areas such as Science, Health and Home Economics. We also envision it to become part of our overall sustainability program for the school. We've already begun our energy audit and we plan in the next few years to cover recycling and water conservation as well.
