School Year in Review

Wow! What a wonderful year it has been for Beyond Organic Design. We continued our partnership with The Renaissance Charter School (TRCS), transitioning from our summer session into a fall and spring after school program, grant funded through the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development.

We debuted a pilot high school permaculture internship and elective program at TRCS, through which students were trained to use concepts of permaculture design, develop gardening skills , and much more.

We partnered with PowerCorps Camden to co-facilitate a multi part introductory permaculture course that provides young adults with skills to address environmental issues in their community.

Finally, we partnered with Central Park East 2 to conduct a regenerative recess program, in which K-5th graders engage in agricultural activities and ecological discovery in their school garden.
