Groundwork Somerville

Groundwork Somerville is a fascinating organization with programs that build toward an understanding that environmental conditions are inextricably linked to the economic and social health of a neighborhood. And so they work with children and teachers in school garden classrooms (linked to state curricula), provide jobs and leadership training to low-income and under-served youth, and grow food at the South Street Farm – Somerville’s first urban farm – and other sites in the city. Today, I made a donation to Groundwork Somerville, a program that I’ve long admired.
