Now launching: MSK's Intergenerational Fellowship. Prospective fellows, mentors, and partners can join the interest list.
MSK’s Ag-STEAM Education program engages youth and community learners in hands-on environmental education that integrates agriculture with science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
Through applied learning in garden and community settings, participants build practical skills in food production, soil stewardship, composting, and renewable energy, while developing the knowledge and problem-solving capacity needed to address food access and environmental challenges.
This program serves as an entry point into MSK’s broader food systems and workforce development approach.
Participants gain hands-on experience in:
Sustainable food production and soil stewardship in community settings
Composting and waste reduction to improve soil health
Environmental science through plant systems and growing cycles
Renewable energy and sustainability fundamentals
Teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving through applied projects
Participants leave with a clear understanding of how food systems, environmental conditions, and community outcomes are connected, along with the skills to engage in solutions.
Ag-STEAM education bridges classroom learning with real-world application by engaging youth and community members in sustainable agriculture and environmental problem-solving.
Participants develop practical skills while gaining a clear understanding of how food systems, environmental conditions, and community health are connected.
This work contributes to measurable outcomes in food access, environmental stewardship, and workforce development, preparing participants to take on meaningful roles within their communities.
