Free Library of Philadelphia Culinary Literacy Center

Advancing literacy by providing the opportunity to experiment with new foods, new skills, and new ideas. 

The Free Library of Philadelphia understands that literacy is not a “one size fits all” experience. Opening in June 2014, the Culinary Literacy Center (CLC) is revolutionizing the way Philadelphians think about food, nutrition and literacy. People become literate through multiple different pathways—and food is one pathway we all have in common.

Silver State Charter Gardens

Silver State Charter Gardens is a garden program that has just begun to 'bud' at the Silver State Charter School. We are based out of Carson City, but serve a population of middle and high school students that live across rural Northern Nevada.  In partnership with the Whole Kids Foundation, our program was piloted this year (2015) at the Middle School.  We use project-based learning to guide our kids as they create their soil, choose their seeds, design their greenhouses, grow their crops, and enjoy their harvest.
