EARLY LITERACY and HEALTH LITERACY 

SMART teaches children, their parents, and their teachers, both online and outdoors. We partner with child care centers, elementary schools, clinics, and other nonprofit organizations to reach thousands of people yearly in Galveston County. 

Family Food Gardens

Kids, parents, and teachers learn to grow their own herbs, lettuce, and green beans with tiny starter box garden kits. Success means they harvest and taste the freshest and best food ever. Donate in support of family food gardens, fighting childhood obesity and diabetes.
