Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide programming for motivated youth residents of Central New Jersey who want to focus on forming healthier habits. These habits, when formed early, lead to healthy minds, bodies, practices, and lifestyles--these habits provide disease prevention, obesity prevention, and may help to reverse prediabetes or Type II Diabetes.
Through countless partnerships with businesses and individuals around the township of South Brunswick, New Jersey, we have created a four component program that combines community gardening, cooking, fitness, and nutrition education. We welcome to our locations all folks, of all ages, of all cultural backgrounds, who all share in one aspect: a commitment to eating, deliciously, for health.
Description
The GSCK holds programming throughout the summer months for kids in the Central New Jersey area. We offer classes in our components to all the kids in order to offer the perfect blend of educational tools to help children and families reach and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
