Seeds in the Middle, named by fourth graders in central Brooklyn, inspires parents, educators, students and their community to access all the opportunities New York City has to offer, beginning with improving their health, enhancing arts education and greening their environment. We are joyful, respectful, educational and engaging.
Our innovative strategy to fight obesity initiates at public and private elementary, middle and high schools. We weave together an array of proven programs into a comprehensive package to turn around ills driving down opportunity and advancement. We empower and educate all to get healthy and scale educational and social disparities. Our pilot schools are in Crown Heights, a neighborhood with one of the city’s highest obesity, diabetes, and heart disease rates.
We teach how to grow, how to market, how to access and prepare nutritious food, how to exercise, how to engage in the arts, all the elements needed to promote life-changing lifelong health.
Our partners come from all walks of life: chefs, athletes, educators, artists, builders and more.
We cross cultures. We transform gray into green, destitution into inspiration.

Solomon Long, Former Public School Principal
