Green Plate Special is a brand that was founded in 2011 with a mission to inspire and empower youth by teaching them about growing, cooking, and sharing food. Their programs and services cater to 4th-8th grade youth (ages 9-14) and include after-school and in-school programs, spring break and summer camps, and evening cooking classes. These curriculum-based programs start with basic food knowledge and progress to advanced gardening and cooking skills.

Green Plate Special also incorporates academic subjects such as math, science, and history into their lessons, providing a unique and holistic learning experience. Additionally, they collaborate with partner organizations to customize programs to fit their specific needs. With a focus on equity, social justice, and the joy of cooking, Green Plate Special aims to foster a love for healthy food and basic life skills in young individuals.
