CCUA Children's Garden Education Curriculum VISTA
 
 
 
Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture works to enhance our community’s health by connecting people to agriculture and the land through hands-on learning opportunities from seed to plate. The VISTA project will seek to support established and expanding programs with Columbia Public Schools and help existing programs adapt to using Columbia’s Agriculture Park. The VISTA project positively impacts families living with low-incomes and children enrolled in Columbia Public Schools (a school district with high rates of free and reduced lunch). VISTA members will contribute to the goals of the project by performing activities such as: creating lessons, creating garden plans, expanding the Farm to School program into new buildings, caring for school gardens, organizing events, recruit volunteers, and update programming guides.
