The youth are excited. This will also help us learn great skills in feeding ourselves and our families in the future. The curriculum is appropriate for educators of nearly any kind and is equally appropriate for a variety of types of learners from special needs to honors. The learning is done through classroom discussions, guest speakers, field trips to sites, personal journals, portfolio compilation, presentations, cooperative learning groups, and direct community service. Interdisciplinary studies as well as hands-on work will enable students to gain an understanding of the cause and effect of hunger and malnutrition, as well as help the many food assistance recipients in their community.
Hunger is an issue that many of the students themselves are currently facing.
