Edible Schoolyard New Orleans is a signature program of FirstLine Schools, a network of four public charter schools in New Orleans. Founded in 2006, Edible Schoolyard New Orleans aims to change the way children eat, learn, and live. Through hands-on learning about food and the natural world, children at FirstLine Schools make important connections.

These connections extend beyond just learning about nutrition and sustainability; they also help students build confidence, strong social relationships, a sense of belonging, and academic success. Edible Schoolyard New Orleans offers garden and culinary education, family events, and engaging experiences for students. They also provide resources such as recipes and videos for individuals and families who are looking to incorporate healthier habits into their lives.

Through their commitment to connecting children to food, the natural world, and community, Edible Schoolyard New Orleans prepares students for college and life. Get involved and support their mission by volunteering, interning, or donating
