Creating space for children to interact with the earth and for teens to become educators.
Roselyn, a first-generation college student, is determined to break the cycle of poverty in her family through higher education. With a vision to bring environmental education programming to the youth in her neighborhood, Roselyn will study Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth this coming year. Through her partnership with Teens for Food Justice, she has seen the transformative power of watching produce grow from seed to food, a vital connection many children are missing. As an intern at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Roselyn has dedicated over 300 hours to guiding lessons, leading activities, and teaching kids about plants and animals. She also founded a recipe card project to make hydroponic farms more accessible. Her proactive approach to education and community engagement underscores her commitment to making a lasting impact.
