My Project
Our students are eager to make a real difference in their community while learning about climate and environmental science. We are seeking materials to support hands-on learning through our local community garden. With tools like gardening gloves, soil, compost, seeds, and basic planting tools, students will explore sustainable practices, plant life cycles, and the impact of local agriculture on climate health. This project will empower students to understand environmental stewardship while growing fresh produce to donate locally. Working in the garden builds responsibility, teamwork, and a deep connection to the natural world. Your support will help us cultivate not just plants—but future climate-conscious citizens.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
