What is a Hip Hop Green Dinner?

The Green Dinners serve as a bridge between local stakeholders such as organic farmers, chefs, grocery stores, fitness professionals and urban youth who will benefit from their knowledge and expertise. They are designed to be a catalyst in local communities for our on-going program that connects young people to a wide array of healthy food and lifestyle options in their area.
The end result of our curriculum are youth that will proactively augment their own health and food choices based on being connected to and learning from local health resources. The green dinner very important because it will kick off a new direction of health in our communities, a direction where youth and their families can be directly plugged into real life learning resources that will empower them to lead healthy lives. We have already begun to identify businesses and people in each area of our health curriculum, such as Organic Farming, Food Knowledge, Food Preparation and Food Entrepreneurialism.
