Get Involved Project Lunch | Project Lunch |
Teens Turning Green is spearheading an unprecedented initiative
called Project Lunch. The goal
of Project Lunch is to inspire students, in
partnership with Food Service Directors, teachers and community stakeholders,
to green school lunch programs providing healthy food at all schools for all
students.
Get Involved:We are looking for students to participate in Food Clubs and adult community mentors to volunteers. Please let us know if you want to get involved!
Join a Project Lunch Food Club:
Food Clubs are groups of students, food service staff, and other members of the school community united around the goal of bringing healthy, local, sustainable and fabulous food offerings to their lunch programs and creating community on campus around food. Through fun, engaging, and experiential learning, Food Club members will learn about their school's food program, take field trips to farms, farmers markets and green grocers, prepare food, host chef demos, and even participate in the renaming
and redecorating of the school cafeterias to help evolve the spaces into
vibrant campus centers. They will be the creators and innovators of their
clubs.
