We are planning a series of Tastes of Brooklyn events starting end of April and we need to get sponsors.
We are seeking interns or anyone who would like to help us grow Tastes of Brooklyn and seek out business sponsors who can help support our events, which fundraise for Seeds in the Middle, a charity that empowers youth and schools in food deserts in central Brooklyn to eat healthy, run Hip2B Healthy Markets, grow food and cook nutritiously and deliciously with chefs and play soccer!
If you have experience in this, please send us a letter and resume as to why you want to do it.
There may be possibility of stipend.
Send all inquiries to tastesofbk@seedsinthemiddle.org

Mission Statement
Seeds in the Middle partners with students, educators, parents & their communities to access all opportunities, beginning with improving health, enhancing arts education and greening their environment. We empower and educate all to get healthy and scale educational and social disparities. Our pilot schools are in central Brooklyn, a neighborhood with among the city’s highest obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates. We teach how to grow, market, cook, access and prepare fresh food, how to exercise & engage in the arts, all the elements needed to promote life-changing lifelong health. Our volunteers come from all walks of life. We cross cultures. We transform gray into green, destitution into inspiration.
Description
Seeds in the Middle offers joyful, healthy interventions that nurture the whole child and address the multiple obstacles blocking low-income children and families from getting healthy. We teach how to grow edible gardens, run a student-led Hip2B Healthy Market, bring chefs into schools, started soccer, running and fitness programs at school and in the community and music and arts in the schools. We integrate professional development for teachers so that a healthy lifestyle and environmental stewardship becomes organic and sustainable in the school community. To build community, we created Soccer for Harmony tournaments and the Crown Heights Farmers Market. In two years, we have engaged more than 1,000 families, and students and teachers report changing their habits to include more fruits and vegetables, and fitness. This is a pilot for any school and Seeds in the Middle plans to replicate.
