We organize hundreds of volunteers to build organic, raised bed vegetable gardens in backyards, front yards, side yards and even on balconies. We support low income households for three years with seeds, plants, classes, mentors and more. Our Youth Grow after school Garden Clubs grow the next generation of veggie eaters and growers! Through Learn & Grow workshops and work parties, we teach gardeners all about growing, preparing and preserving healthful food while respecting the health of the environment.  \nWe plant seeds for good food and healthy people by making sure low income people have the resources they need to grow organic vegetables at home. Through this work, community members meet over the backyard garden, through volunteering, by attending classes, and through sharing extra produce.  \nMission and Values  \nGrowing Gardens promotes home-scale organic food gardening to improve nutrition, health and self-reliance while enhancing the quality of life and the environment for individuals and communities in Portland, Oregon. We believe:  \n• Access to healthful, culturally appropriate food is an inherent right.  \n• Individuals and communities are empowered when they have the knowledge and skills to provide food.  \n• All people deserve recognition and respect for their unique value.  \n• Joy and fun are essential elements in any activity we host, promote, or undertake.  \n• Trust, honesty, open-mindedness and accountability are core elements in all we do.  \n• Quality of life is improved when we respect and honor our environment and when we promote the interconnection of all things.  \nAbout Youth Grow  \nGrowing Gardens Youth Grow Program empowers low-income elementary school children with lifelong skills growing food and eating healthfully in a way that protects the earth. Children develop knowledge of organic gardening techniques, nutrition and healthy behaviors in the living laboratory of the garden. Our unique three-year school partnerships build the capacity of a school community to lead and sustain garden-based educational programs at their sites. Youth Grow After-School Garden Club is designed to help reduce risk factors for low income students and create the foundation for self-reliance that lasts a lifetime.  \nProgram Rationale  \nAccording to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Oregon citizens are at high risk to experience food insecurity (uncertainty about where the next meal is coming from) . One out of every eight Oregonians experiences food insecurity at some time during the year. Children who are hungry or poorly nourished do less well in school, both academically and behaviorally. \"Lower socioeconomic status in childhood has been linked repeatedly with lower educational and income levels in adulthood, which in turn predict health status. Children in poor families are about seven times as likely to be in poor or fair health as children in the highest-income families.\" 1 A study in 2005 revealed 25% of Oregon’s eighth and eleventh grade students are at risk for becoming overweight or obese, putting them at risk to develop chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Given these alarming trends, it is expected that for the first time ever, the next generation of Oregonians will have shorter lifespans than their parents.  \nAt our Youth Grow Partner Schools, we offer eight-week Garden Clubs afterschool, as well as Garden Summer Camps. Hands-on food gardening activities are a very effective way to influence students’ attitudes and preferences toward fruit and vegetable consumption.2 We target elementary aged-children because it is documented that eating habits and preferences are established early in life and studies show that if established before 6th grade, positive habits are more likely to persist into adult","cbCaihz86CvFLS8j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihz86CvFLS8j","pdf",1152661,91,"English","# Introduction and Overview\n## Working with Students in the Garden\n### Classroom Management Techniques\n### Peaceful Conflict Resolution\n### Addressing Disruptive Behaviors\n### Making Garden Club Accessible for All Students\n### The Youth Grow Garden Club Structure\n### Food Safety and Handling\n### Evaluation\n# Lessons","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Youth Grow Garden Clubs and summer camps?\",\"answer\":\"They use hands-on food gardening to influence students’ attitudes toward fruit and vegetable consumption, build healthful eating habits, and develop practical skills through interactive garden learning.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the program designed to serve?\",\"answer\":\"The program targets low-income elementary school children and also supports school communities through three-year partnerships to sustain garden-based education.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the manual include a program rationale section?\",\"answer\":\"It explains the need using USDA and referenced research showing food insecurity risks, the impact of poor nutrition on school performance, and trends tied to overweight/obesity and chronic disease.\"}]","Growing Gardens Youth Grow Garden Lesson Manual - January 2016 - Lesson Plan | PDF",140]
