Sustainability Problem and Proposed Solution: 

The community of Calabasas Elementary School (CES) is comprised of predominantly low-income, food insecure, and underrepresented farm-working families in Watsonville. We seek to forge a UCSC/CES partnership where undergraduates and Watsonville families and staff jointly run an after school garden based education program for youth, establish a community garden (which is a sister garden to the C9/C10 campus garden), and foster education, leadership and empowerment.
