Here's a look at some of the fourth and fifth graders we work with at Pickle's Smart Start afterschool program. The program is run by Community New Start, a partner organization focused on the St. John neighborhood. This garden was planted with the help of the Sustainable Food Center, an Austin non-profit.

There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available with Smart Start. Contact us for details.
