Teens for Food Justice “delivers STEM education, nutrition literacy, and food justice programming through hydroponic farming to middle and high school students across New York City.” Through feedback from educators, students, and school partners, Teens for Food Justice identified inconsistencies in curriculum delivery, classroom management, and farm operations. To improve on these shortcomings, the organization plans to develop a standardized training program for their Farmer-Educators. This will include a video-based training series and a four-day Farmer-Educator Intensive to provide all new and existing staff with a shared foundation of knowledge.
Teens for Food Justice will develop a standardized training program to address programming inconsistencies.
