NOURISH & FLOURISH
OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAM
Dedicated to Nurturing Minds & Bodies
At Sprout Up's Nourish & Flourish program, we bridge the gap between wholesome foods and social emotional learning offering children a unique space to grow, create, and thrive. Enriching sessions, hands-on experiences, and dedicated facilitation ensure each child embarks on a journey of health and imagination.
Program Goals
1
High Quality Education
Offer top-tier plant-and-people learning, refusal strategies, safety escalation, and growth mindset skills to build confidence, resilience, healthy boundaries, and positive decision-making.
2
Promote Nutritional Equality
Actively work to reduce the disparities in access to wholesome, healthy foods within the community.
3
Social Emotional Learning Exposure
Introduces our participants to STEAM, mental health, SEL, nutrition & food sustainability, advocacy and communication to empower youth and families to thrive.
Service Solutions
Guided by seasoned facilitators, our K–6 garden-integrated SEL curriculum uses botanical concepts to teach students how to establish personal boundaries using gentle, indirect refusal—while empowering them to drop the indirect approach and use firm, direct refusal when safety requires it.
Tackling food inequity head-on, our program invites participants into the sustainable realm of aeroponic gardening. Dive into a world of delectable, yet healthful recipes, and as an added perk, participants get to bring home a taste of their learning with recipe samples!
Nourish & Flourish combines hands-on gardening and STEAM learning with social-emotional wellness, advocacy skills, and sustainable nutrition.
