The Urban Assembly School for Green Careers

This grant will make cooking with veggies possible during our Spring & Summer Gardening Internship Program.

In order for students to learn how to cook fresh and nutritional meals, UAGC needs funding to purchase ingredients (fruits, vegetables, seasonings, etc.) that can't be harvested from the garden (this will be the case until late June). Seeds, plants, & dirt will also be purchased & planted in the spring so students can harvest and cook during the Summer Gardening Internship Program using food they grow.

The purpose of the cooking component of the program is:

1) To expose students to a healthy recipe they make for themselves one day a week (for 10 weeks) so that they can adopt healthier eating habits .

2) To prepare and enable students to lead cooking demos for the community to expose and teach their peers, families, and other community members how to make healthy meals 5 times during the 10 week program.
