Numi Foundation's organic gardening curriculum is currently offered in more than 20 low-income/Title 1 Oakland Unified elementary schools, reaching almost 500 students, but there is demand in 45 schools and we invite you to join us to ensure that every Oakland elementary student who wants to garden and grow food has the opportunity!
We work in some of the most impoverished neighborhoods of the city, where there are far more liquor stores than supermarkets. So teaching at-risk youth where their food comes from and how to eat healthy is truly transformative and teaches them what they need to thrive.
The program includes free access to our K-6 gardening curriculum, which conforms to state standards and can be used in or after school. We also provide stipends for the instructors and fund a field trip to a local organic farm. We are also working to launch a youth-led farmer's market pilot program, where the students will learn entrepreneurship and financial literacy as they prepare to play leadership roles in their families and communities.
On behalf of the thousands of marginalized children who will benefit from your support, thank you and please spread the word to help ensure we reach our goal by the end of the year!
