WHAT: Come learn more about Room & Board’s new community partner, Urban Sprouts, at this special summer event. Urban Sprouts will set-up a farmer's market style stand and sell some of their goods including flowers, seedlings, salves and other hand-made items from their workshops. Room & Board will be doing a giveaway and provide light refreshments. Urban Sprouts plants the seeds of social equity to build healthy and thriving neighborhoods through community and garden-based education.
Since their founding in 2004, Urban Sprouts, uses research-tested programming to create culturally relevant and enriching opportunities for youth and their families to connect with food and natural environments. Urban Sprouts principally services historically under-resourced neighborhoods and public housing communities in southeast San Francisco: the Mission, Excelsior, Bayview-Hunters Point and Visitation Valley. In partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District, San Francisco Department of Public Health and a network of community based organizations, Urban Sprouts’ project-based learning approach delivers environmental and nutrition education; advances student and family health by promoting the increased consumption of fresh produce through food and garden-based activities; bolsters academic success; and provides youth and adults with job-skill trainings and employment opportunities.
