About the Program:
Our goal is to create a healthy hands-on outdoor classroom where youth feel safe to develop unique leadership skills. The outdoor classroom establishes an alternative learning environment that promotes exploration of students' roles in creating the world in which we live. This component of a farm to school program helps illustrate the intersections of environmental economic and social benefits while providing good food for low-income families and encouraging better dietary habits of teens.
