Environmental Education
We design & lead hands-on environmental literacy programs at our school gardens and farms for K-12 students.
Growing Together comprises a team of expert educators who have developed a core curriculum addressing the environmental literacy gap while enabling students to actively engage with the living world.
Working closely with teachers and staff, we tailor unique educational experiences that complement in-class learning. Our support ranges from consultations and technical assistance (providing tools, training, materials, and curriculum) to large-scale projects, including full garden or farm installations with outdoor classrooms and dedicated instructors to lead programming for the entire school.
​
The San Lorenzo High Outdoor Education and Job Training program is funded by
the Outdoor Equity Grants Program, created through AB 209 and administered by California State Parks, Office of Grants and Local Services.
