Non-Profit - Seattle, WA, US
Founded in 2011, Green Plate Special's mission is to inspire and empower youth through growing, cooking, and sharing food.We engage youth through after-school and during-school programs, spring and summer camps, and evening cooking classes. Programs are curriculum based with a progression from basic food knowledge to advanced gardening and cooking skills. We also enhance learning opportunities by interweaving food growing and cooking with academic subjects such as math, science, and history. For example, youth may practice baking skills while learning about the science of liquids and solids. A snack and/or lunch are provided during programming and students often are able to take home a sample of what they cooked, as well as vegetables from the garden.We often work closely with partner organizations and customize programs to fit the needs of our partners. Some of our current partners include Madrona K-8, Washington Middle School, Orca K-8, Atlantic Street Center, Mary's Place, Friends of the Children, Odessa Brown Children's Clinic, Beacon Hill International, and many others.
