FoodCorps is a national nonprofit advancing child well-being through food in school. We partner with students, families, and communities to champion nourishing food at local, state, and national levels. Our teams support schools in providing nutritious meals, locally-informed food education, and welcoming school environments that set kids up for positive, vibrant relationships with food. Building on this program, we develop leaders, grow networks, and advocate for policies in service of every kid’s health and well-being. FoodCorps is working toward a future where all 50 million public school students have access to food education and nourishing meals in school. Learn more at www.foodcorps.org.

Through a vast volunteer network of local chapters, youth and food communities, we link the pleasures of the table with a commitment to protect the community, culture, knowledge and environment that make this pleasure possible. Our mission as an international grassroots membership organization is good, clean and fair food for all.

With a mission focused on empowering communities and environmental conservation through STEM education, Green Our Planet seamlessly integrates nature, technology, and education to create transformative experiences through school gardens and hydroponics. Research shows students from PreK to 12th grade engage more deeply and retain more information through practical, hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) learning. Green Our Planet’s programs equip dedicated teachers with the knowledge and infrastructure needed to guide students in exploring science, nutrition, conservation, financial literacy, nature, and more through hands-on lessons in outdoor garden spaces and indoor hydroponics laboratories. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization, Green Our Planet operates the largest and one of the most comprehensive standards-aligned school garden programs in the United States.
