The Community Center has facilitated the preservation and development of wonder and respect for the world and its interconnected nature by providing environmental, agricultural, and nutrition education with in the Lagunitas School District.

In addition to our active role in the school we also provide the same programs and experiences in our after school programs and community events. We provide family cooking nights to the community, as well as in our after school programs, cooking demonstrations at events and special holiday nutrition packets with our annual holiday food baskets. Our nutritional education programs are featured in the Food Pantry as well.

The Community Center has supported a school garden coordinator, a community nutrition coordinator, educational trainings, special community events, and materials for the garden and nutrition programs.

We are proud to say that we are able to serve over 300 students with our garden and nutrition programs. In addition we provide nutrition information and education opportunities for 500+ individuals in the community through our food bank and community nutrition programs.

This year through our facilitation of the Nutrition Advisory Council we have been able to generate new organic lunch choices and assist in the writing of the School Wellness Policy.

The Community and School garden and nutrition programs are always looking for parent and community support and involvement. For more information on the school garden program please call Joseph at 488-8888, ext. #254 or email nutrition@sgvcc.org.
