Primary/secondary Education - New York, New York, United States
Seeds in the Middle, named and founded by 4th graders, educates, empowers and inspires students, schools and their communities to create healthier places to live and learn. We teach how to grow, cook and market fresh, get fit, engage in the arts, build community and boost achievement. Youth run Hip2B Healthy Markets, where fresh juices and snacks are only 50 cents, cook nutritious, delicious meals with chefs for the same cost as a fast food combo, grow edible gardens, play Crown Heights soccer and basketball and more, do art and get tutored and more. We are powered by volunteers. We integrate entrepreneurial skills and all we do into curriculum to boost academic achievement. Our neighborhoods have the highest obesity, diabetes and heart disease rates, preventable diseases linked to malnutrition and lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Youth are our change-makers. Our partners come from all walks of life. All volunteers welcome. We transform gray into green, destitution into inspiration.
