Chicas Verdes Corp

Chicas Verdes will transform DaVinci Connect TK-8 School into a dynamic living laboratory with an edible garden and two native gardens. Our innovative garden programming will immerse students in hands-on learning, fostering a deep connection to nature and promoting holistic well-being. Students will learn sustainable food cultivation, cooking with garden produce, and balanced nutrition. Our curriculum covers ecology, environmental justice, climate change, and leadership, empowering students to drive positive community change.

The Chicas Verdes Growing Together: Youth-Led Garden Competition will ignite a citywide movement of student-led school gardens, empowering young people, with special focus on young people in under-resourced communities, to grow food, cultivate leadership skills, and transform their campuses. With LA2050’s support, we’ll launch a dynamic competition that equips students with funding, curriculum, mentorship, and visibility to create sustainable gardens and vibrant green spaces across Los Angeles.
