Seeds in the Middle began in 2009 at a school in a low-income neighborhood in Brooklyn to empower students, schools and their communities to create healthier places to live and learn.
We have 18 schools in NYC who would like our student-run farm stands, Hip2B Healthy Cafes and other programs that help communities themselves fight and overcome food insecurity and health and educational disparities.
We need to raise funds for them. We know we need to show our impact.
So, we need folks who can interview people impacted by our programs, collect data about the communities, and graphics and help us create a wonderful impact report.
We welcome all talents in this - this is about empowering people to change their food and environmental landscape in our poorest neighborhoods. All of our schools are in food-insecure areas, predominantly neighborhoods of color.
Please help us collect data or even come up with fundraising ideas.
Feel free to email us at info@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.
