Let's Grow Healthy

Childhood obesity is increasing as a concerning public health issue

To alleviate this problem, "Let's Grow Healthy" provides a complete gardening program

The goal is to ensure that every child and plant "grow healthy"

Children will learn about nutrition, health and sustainability

CSUN faculty, staff and students work with the schools to provide hands-on training and program

The program provides interdisciplinary opportunities for faculty and students to collaborate

A sense of empowerment is created between families and their children

Healthy eating habits will be promoted in the community

The program uses grant funding by promoting gardening and healthy eating

The program hopes to reach out to schools and organizations

The goal is to build or revive at least 13 gardens

Our mission is to build and maintain a garden in every school

And ultimately help to improve the health and well-being of families and larger communities

Student success = Faculty success
