About the Program: 

This grant will allow us to increase our garden area and revamp it so that we may grow food for our students and our community. The grant will pay for organic soil tools and building materials and provide an inclusive space for science math and after-school lessons. We will collaborate with our Student Based Health Clinic (SBHC) and Teen Outreach Program (TOP). We will grow herbs and vegetables supplied by a local Native American seed bank and other sources and cook for our community.
