The Linden SDA Community Outreach Team canvassed the block of our future community garden. The Linden SDA Community Outreach team are 8th graders fulfilling their community service hours for graduation. In partnership with the STEAM for Social Change Program at their school, students prepared for three weeks to engage with local community residents on the importance of signing a petition to ensure the garden comes to fruition. The STEAM for Social Change Program is a program designed by DIVAS for Social Justice and currently runs programming in three schools in Laurelton. The Linden SDA Community Outreach team concentrated on canvassing the block of the abandoned lot where the garden will be. The community outreach team successfully signed up 16 neighbors to actively participate in the community garden. The Linden SDA Community Outreach team will be next by the LIRR Laurelton station cleaning up garbage and debris by the local murals and recruiting more potential members for the Community Garden of Resilience.
