(LGE) project in five high schools and 2 community gardens in the Morrisania section of the South Bronx. The project encourages young people to take control of their health through nutrition education and improved food access in their schools and community. It has an in-school component that focuses on healthy eating and the environment, and a garden component where students learn to grow their own vegetables.

Specifically, in the gardens they will help to plant, weed, water and harvest and other garden upkeep projects. In the community they will help the teens to organize education tables at farmers markets and other public spaces, disseminate information, and conduct surveys to identify healthy eating options in the neighborhood.
Project Assistants will also assist in evaluating the success of the project and the performance of the teen interns.
