Be Part of the Growth

From classrooms to kitchens to community gardens — your time, talent, and support help young people discover their power through food, culture, and storytelling.

Together, We Grow Stronger

Every young person deserves access to learning experiences that nourish their curiosity, creativity, and connection to community.


At Roots to Growth, we create spaces where youth learn, grow, and lead through food, land, culture, and storytelling. Our programs connect students to hands-on culinary, nutrition, garden, and media experiences that build confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging.


But we cannot do this work alone.

When you get involved, you help young people explore where their food comes from and how it connects to culture and community. You help students gain real-world skills through cooking, gardening, and storytelling. You help schools and communities create learning environments rooted in creativity, heritage, and opportunity.



Together, we empower youth
and strengthen communities through food, land, and culture.
