Seeds in the Middle, named by fourth graders, inspires parents, educators, students and their community to access all opportunities beginning with improving their health, enhancing arts education and greening their environment. We are joyful, respectful, educational and engaging. We nurture the whole child.
Our innovative strategy to overcome health, educational and food inequity initiates at schools. We empower and educate all to get healthy and scale disparities. Our pilot Hip2B Healthy schools are in central Brooklyn, a neighborhood with one of New York City's highest obesity, diabetes, heart disease and premature death rates. Our programs are models for replication.
Seeds in the Middle is grateful to anyone, anywhere who wants to help. We say that any donation, even a minute or a penny, is more than we had yesterday. It can be time, services, goods, or just cash. Whatever it is, we are certain you can change the trajectory of a child’s life.
We call upon the volunteerism and generosity of the U.S. "village" - crossing cultural, socioeconomic, racial, religious divides to build bridges of trust and opportunity and support.
All offers welcome. Here are examples:
- CHEFS can guide our school chefs and host joyous dinner parties to show healthy cooking.
- BUILDERS AND GARDENERS can support indoor and outdoor growing.
- FOOD VENDORS AND FINANCIAL EXPERTS can support our Hip2B Healthy Market.
- EXPERT EDUCATORS support teachers, curriculum growth, students
- ATHLETES, WRITERS, ARTISTS inspire our parents and students.
