Schoolyard to Market Fellowship Grows Youth Leaders | Meet Alicia Corchucia, a wise-beyond-her-years soon-to-be-senior at John O'Connell High School and summer fellow at CUESA. Last summer, CUESA introduced a program to provide paid learning opportunities for high schoolers who have completed the Schoolyard to Market gardening and youth entrepreneurship program, as interns for our Foodwise Kids field trips and cooking classes.
While gaining broader experience with professional opportunities in the sustainable food world, Alicia took what she learned to the next level by serving as a leader to younger kids exploring the farmers market. Through her time in the garden, in the farmers market, and supporting CUESA's education programs, Alicia also deepened her interest in food justice and the environment. |
