Our Mission

Brandon Hill Youth Heritage Garden is a community project serving the needs of youth at risk.  Our Mission is the education of at-risk youth on how to provide healthy food choices for themselves and their families.  We strive to give the youth a sense of accomplishment and achievement through growing their own foods. We teach them how to care for living things.

 

 

Our Goals and Objectives 

· Engage the local community in efforts to reclaim their neighborhoods by turning empty lots into beneficial spaces which reflect the cultural identity of the people who create them. 

· Restore African-American and Latino-American youths’ lost agriculture heritage. 

· Increase overall vegetable consumption by providing fresh,   delicious food. 

· Provide gardening activities which give youth productive, educational and confidence-building activities. 

· Increase daily recreation (physical fitness) and social interaction with older youth and retirees in the community. 

· Call Geneva Bell @ 931-552-8026 or Jerrika Rivera @ 931-278-0203 for more information.
