SHK Philanthropic Mission
SchoolHouse Kitchen’s philanthropic mission is to transform children and young adults’ lives through support of programs that teach life skills and promote self-confidence.
Priority funding areas:
- Successful programs for youth and adolescents that support learning and character development and that are have established proven models that can be brought to scale.
- Nutrition education for children and young adults in urban areas that utilizes food and cooking knowledge to widen their horizons and expand their opportunities for education and further development.
Programs SchoolHouse Kitchen currently supports:
The Farm-Based Education Association
The mission of the Farm Based Education Association is to inspire, nurture and promote farm based education.
SchoolHouse Kitchen recognizes that a farm-based education promotes knowledge of food sourcing, sustainability, and offers alternative ways of conveying information to our youth. Urban dwellers today are at risk of losing touch with the lessons that can be gained by a farm-based education so the promotion of these ideas becomes increasingly more important as our urban areas continue to grow. The Farm-Based Education Association helps to create a needed network amongst farm based educators in the US and we are happy to be a partner with them.
