Academic Leadership Community

With the Whole Kids Foundation Grant we will be able to provide the Academic Leadership Community with our Garden Ranger Program in which students will take a step out of their classrooms and learn about the scientific, nutritional, and environmental impact of gardening in their own garden we help them build. We will also be able to assist them in yielding more glorious harvests for students to incorporate into their daily meals. The Academic Leadership Community emphasizes leadership, community, and intellectual curiosity among its students. Our goal is to supplement the critical and rigorous nature of the students’ coursework by encouraging students to ask more questions about the world around them and by inspiring them with the small things we take for granted everyday: food!
