About the Program: 

The goal of the program is to help participating students become leaders in environmental and nutritional awareness and community service. The garden is where this development occurs. The goal of the garden is to increase productivity through environmentally conscious and creative projects. The garden's products are more environmentally aware youth primarily, and flowers, fruits and vegetables in conjunction. Our approach to achieving these goals is via the use of volunteers. The Whole Kids Foundation support would enable us to invite potential volunteers to a presentation of the program in the Spring. The more volunteers we have, the better our chances of increased productivity which correlates to more productive and environmentally aware youth. Receipt of the grant will make the proposed invitation and event possible for this school and their community.
