What The Sprout

Partner Highlight
Ilaria Buonriposi, Health Program Manager for Impact Strategies at United Way of Central Maryland, spent a session with the youth cohort last week.
At What The Sprout, we know you can’t build a food system without taking care of the people building it. Mental health is part of the work.
Ilaria brought the youth tools they can actually use — how to name what they’re feeling, how to move through stress, how to take care of themselves in real time.
Thank you, United Way, for showing up for our young growers.
The Grow Collective Youth Cohort is a project of What The Sprout LLC, in partnership with the Langston Hughes Community, Business and Resource Center and YouthWorks Baltimore.
