 Sprouted Beans was created by Ashley Thomas at First Avenue Elementary School in Newark, NJ as an elective class offered within the school’s launch of Citizen Schools - an After-School enrichment program for inner city students. Sprouted Beans – formerly titled Your Health is Your Wealth – is a series of interactive health and nutrition work-shops that culminate into a student led health seminar in which the participants inform their peers, family and teachers of the lessons that they have learned from participating in various Sprouted Beans workshops.
Sprouted Beans consists of volunteers who generously donate their time and knowledge by travelling to local schools, churches and community centers to conduct health and nutrition workshops. The aim of Sprouted Beans' volunteers is to uplift the community. Volunteers empower Sprouted Bean participants to heal themselves and their community by equipping them with the tools and knowledge to change their community by first changing themselves.
If you are a school, community center or group that is interested in partnering with Sprouted Beans or if you are interested in volunteering with Sprouted Beans, please contact us at info@sproutedbeans.org.
