| IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom | 0 | Our community outreach programs promote being physically active, healthy eating, and the fun and benefits of growing our own food. We enthusiastically educate these future gardeners in growing organic and chemical free gardens. We teach them about the advantages of composting, being environmentally responsible and earth friendly gardeners. While being physically active we also encourage team work, social skills and reaching goals. The Growing Center also offers adult monthly stress reductions classes. We offer gardening information, a horticultural therapy activity and a meditation/reflection segment. The Parents of Murdered Children are parents who have lost a child through an act of violence. These parents come to us for bereavement support. We have designated an area of our Healing Garden to these families to create memorial gardens. This gives the families a place other then a cemetery to reflect on loving memories they have of their child. We incorporate the stories of these tragic deaths into our youth at risk programs. While we weed these particular gardens we talk about making good choices in life, the grief of the families and the life cut short. It is a sobering lesson that makes an impression on these at- risk young adults. The Growing Center conducts annual workshops for the American Cancer Society. Our workshops are for cancer survivors and their families. We use stress reduction and calming horticultural therapy sessions. These are well attended and very successful outreach programs. |
