2022-2023 ITSC School Garden Liaison Initiative
This program was supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
The School Garden Liaison Initiative was a paid six week youth leadership program centered around food equity, reimagining systems thinking and learning how to grow food, set at a school garden and farm.
The goals of the SGL program were to: assist schools with maintenance of gardens during the summer; increase the amount of youth with knowledge of growing food; create a network of youth empowered to advocate for themselves, their communities and educate young people about the intersection of environmental justice and community empowerment.
The SGL Program was facilitated, developed and implemented in collaboration with Tru Colors Indy, CAFE Indy, Kheprw Institute, Flanner House Farms, Circular Indiana, Scarabys Consulting, Solful Gardens, VOICES Corp and IUPUI Arts & Humanities Institute
