Inclusion, Education, Environmental Stewardship, Diversity, Empowerment and Community
VISION:
We envision a just and sustainable food system in which all communities have access to fresh, organic produce and young people with diverse abilities lead the way in creating healthy and equitable communities.
MISSION:
Sowing Seeds of Change empowers transition-age youth with disabilities and foster youth to cultivate a thriving future through vocational training in sustainable agriculture, leadership development, and community engagement.
Key Achievements
Sowing Seeds of Change empowers youth and community members through hands-on programs in urban agriculture, cooking, pre-vocational training, horticultural therapy, and a summer camp for children. The program fosters workforce readiness, healthier eating habits, and environmental stewardship, while also offering free farmers markets and food fairs that increase food access, reduce waste, and build community connections. Together, these initiatives create meaningful opportunities for personal growth, job training, and a more sustainable, equitable food system.
