UGA VISTA Network: Barrow Co School Garden VISTA
 
 
 
This VISTA works with K-12 schools in Barrow County, Georgia to implement a model of integrated programs incorporating gardening, nutrition, and sustainability to improve the diet and health of students. Activities include establishing programs with children, community members, and school personnel to support and maintain school gardens, to enhance access to fresh fruits and vegetables, to reduce food waste, and to enhance sustainability, both during the school day, after school, and during the summer. Priority will be given to individuals who are recent graduates, have gardening experience, have an academic interest and background in related issues, and have previous volunteer experience with school children. Ability to collaborate with diverse constituencies, work independently, travel (across schools in Barrow County), and utilize social media is required.
