Out On the Farm

Director of Civic Engagement Kamilah reports, "To support the 9th grade civic engagement framework on Food Justice and Addie's Environmental Science curriculum, Burke high school students, along with Steve, Addie, Branden, and Kamilah volunteered at Asawana Farms in Upper Marlboro, MD, over the weekend."
"Students learned about the importance that farming co-ops and sustainable agriculture have on our climate and on food insecurity in the DMV. Students were able to connect volunteerism to African & Indigenous agricultural practices as a means to address food insecurity."
