About the Program: 

The Agrinauts Training Program takes on the challenges of the once established horticulture classroom at the Ghazvini Learning Center in Tallahassee, Fl, to pioneer students to develop their lifestyle and ocllective culture consciously through our relationship with food, academics, home, and community.

Undergraduate students, also known as Agrinaut Cadets, volunteer time and experiences to connecting the community expertise with the "at-risk' youth at Ghazvini by growing a market garden and connecting their classrooms to garden classroom, home, and community. Many students face the expectations of society to go to college, but the Agrinauts aim to compliment the flavors of other choices outside of those standard expectations, to still be favorable.

A program still in development, becoming a part of the Edible School Yard network is just another step in which we all here take to established these shared ideals.
