Volunteer on Friday April 22 (Earth Day) and help kids in D.C. THRIVE!
Did you know that learning gardens have been proven to help increase student activity rates, nutrition education, AND test scores? D.C. United is partnering with REAL School Gardens to build a learning garden this Earth Day – April 22 – at a low-income school in Washington D.C. and we need your help!
REAL School Gardens will lead volunteers at a one-day event to build an outdoor classroom at Ketcham Elementary in Anacostia.
