Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
At Ground Education, our mission is to partner with Long Beach public schools to provide year-round garden, health, and environmental awareness experiences for every student during the school day. We value directly engaging youth in order to grow the capacity for wonder, cultivate the space to think, explore and connect, and nurture robust decision-making all in the context of the natural world.We teach our monthly lessons in the safe and nurturing green spaces that we maintain at each partner school site. This year we gardened with 4,300 students in 12 garden spaces, representing a 20% growth in outreach. We taught more than 1,000 hands-on classes and made more than 800 jars of strawberry jam. While we believe every student should spend time learning outdoors, the focus of our expansion has been schools that serve low income families in underserved Long Beach neighborhoods.$119,047-
