​About the Program

Chicana EduPlate is a culturally grounded food justice curriculum rooted in STEM, social-emotional learning, and sustainable living. Our goal is to reconnect youth with the land, their food, and their community through hands-on gardening and whole-food nutrition education.

​Students are grouped into themed learning bands:

• Sprouts (Grades K–2): Foundational concepts of plants, food origins, and feelings
• Growers (Grades 3–5): Garden basics, healthy meals, and seasonal cycles
• Cultivators (Grades 6–8): Food justice, body systems, and cultural connections
• Harvesters (Grades 9–12): Leadership in sustainability, community wellness, and real-world advocacy
  ​

Curriculum is based on planting zones and seasonal eating. Schools will select their garden method (in-ground, above-ground, or hydroponic). Once approved, they’ll receive a Google Classroom code and a customized Google Drive folder based on their region, season, and age group. We also offer local coordination with chefs and gardeners when possible.
