Our group’s goal is to build our own resilient and regeneratively sustainable community that reflects cultural identity and champions environmental, social and economic justice and equity.  Food is a universal human right and socio-culturally embedded.  We use gardening for food justice as a grassroots community mobilizer for realizing our goal.All our programs -- Rhody Grows Hope, Hope Gardeners, and the 2nd Chance Book Garden share gardening to grow food as a common thread. Museum of Silenced Histories (MSH), an emergent voicing of the silenced with communal acts of gardening, story-telling and sharing is integrated into all CC4ES programming, building intercultural and intergenerational relationships.  Rhody Grows Hope (RGH) is a container gardening program that repurposes various recyclables as containers to grow food while reducing environmental waste.  Its outreach education is built around three tiers: E-STEAM (for K-8 students), Y4US (Youths for Urban Sustainability, ages 14-24), and SAS (Sustainable, Affordable, and Sensible) Living for community members at large. Together, these tiers train Hope Gardeners to become community scientists, stewards, and leaders who practice healthy and sustainable living. The 2nd Chance Book Garden, https://cc4es2.wixsite.com/2ndchancebookgarden, our project's anchor, is a community collaborative hub and maker space for platforming entrepreneurship for Hope Gardeners.
