| Desc | Building and Supporting Community Gardens Program This work is the cornerstone of DUGs mission and central to our organizations activities. Each year, we assist community members at every step in the process of creating their own community gardens, including land preservation, agency coordination, fundraising, neighborhood engagement, construction management, and garden program development. The great majority of our community gardens are in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods, and many gardens specifically serve the homeless the physically, developmentally and emotionally challenged and families and children coping with severe poverty. The economic downturn has increased awareness and interest in community gardens nationwide, and we have particularly felt this in Colorado. DUG gardens intentionally provide built-in community support structures for underserved populations. They are nearby, everyday places that allow families and individuals to stretch their food dollars and improve their food security. In 2014, DUG community gardens served approximately 12,368 gardeners. | Desc |

Our Connecting Generations mentoring program brings older adult volunteers into schools to support teachers and maximize use of gardens year-round to advance hands-on learning in science, while improving the nutritional health and well being of both the children and older adults. Our Helping Kids Get Healthy Workshop Series provides ongoing training for youth educators in how to effectively use school gardens, and our summer Garden Clubs keep children engaged in growing and healthy eating when school is no longer in session, but gardens are thriving. Our Youth Farmers Markets provide access to fresh fruits and vegetables to underserved neighborhoods, and provide students tangible entrepreneurial learning opportunities, such as math, customer service, and marketing. In 2014, 162 students received in-class Nutrition and Gardening Education. 18 Connecting Generations mentors served 481 students in seven schools. 50 you |

Through these programs, we train more than 50 individuals per year in composting, organic horticulture, and community organizing. Those trainees then utilize their new skills to support our growing network of community gardens. This model allows DUG to significantly and efficiently expand our capacity to reach more people through our education programs, while providing meaningful community leadership training and opportunities to members of our community. In 2014, 25 Master Community Gardeners volunteered 364 hours at 38 community gardens in our network. 29 Master Composters volunteered 1,601 hours. |
