About the Program: 

The Active Green Space is an engaging space where community members benefit from a hands on learning experience, explore the process of horticulture, learn the advantages of proper nutrition, harness and utilize green energy alternatives and prevent prevalent health concerns.

Our mission is to teach the process of horticulture, to develop proper nutrition habits, and improve the overall health of our participants through an understanding of where food comes from, how it grows and how these processes are affected by our lifestyle. 

We offer youth nutrition education, community workshops, cooking demonstrations, professional development opportunities, and field trips.
