EnrichLA, a nonprofit that builds, cares for, and teaches in school gardens, also joined the event. With the goal of creating an organic regenerative garden across Los Angeles schoolyards, EnrichLA coordinated the volunteers and ensured the sites were suitable for the long-term sustainability of the gardens. EnrichLA has built over 200 school gardens in just nine years.
“We are so excited to bring and operate our first garden to our students with the help of EnrichLA and the Rams,” said Harpreet Hans, Magnet Coordinator of Woodland Hills Academy and Humanities Magnet. “We have built a curriculum around biodiversity, social-emotional learning, and history and purpose of gardens.”
The Rams are committed to fostering a sustainable community and utilizing their community outreach to be a leader in social responsibility.
“As part of our partnership with CRC, we were proud to bring in EnrichLA, who are leaders in the school garden space to ensure this investment will be ongoing and the educational opportunities associated with it will be realized,” said Molly Higgins, Rams Executive Vice President of Community Impact and Engagement. “Our goal is always to identify like-minded partners interested in social impact and with CRC and EnrichLA, we are excited about the value we will be able to bring to our schools and students.”
