Here's a little more about us: Growing Change is a volunteer organization run through the Dartmouth Center for Service. Dartmouth undergraduates engage students at Dothan Brook School in an original farm-to-school program, incorporating Vermont NextGen Science Standards and farm to school best practices to teach topics such as life cycles, food systems, gardening, nutrition, and cooking. We teach an original curriculum in the second and third grade classrooms, plan after school program with activities ranging from cooking classes to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and maintain a community garden at the school. Finally, we collaborate with other Dartmouth programs and local nonprofits that share similar goals in order to increase awareness about food distribution and nutrition in our community. Through our work, we aim to educate children and families in the Upper Valley about the positive impact of sustainable food production and consumption on our world.


Hope to see you tomorrow!
