AmeriCorps Project Change Montgomery

We spent three days in Dallas at the 2026 National Service Training connecting with programs from across the country.

Spaces like this matter because strong programs are built through shared ideas, honest conversations, and learning from one another.

From discussions on member experience to partnerships and sustainability, this was a valuable opportunity to reflect on how we continue to strengthen our work.

Looking forward to bringing this back to Project CHANGE and continuing to support our members and communities.

Last week, students at built their first hydroponic Gardyn machine from the ground up.

We came back after the weekend and spotted our first sprouts. Real growth, right there in the classroom. 🌱

With help from AmeriCorps members Jordan and Kelly, students watered their seedlings, checked on their progress, and even started learning about mushroom cultivation. From building systems to caring for live plants and fungi, they’re getting a full hands-on intro to growing food.

It’s only week two and things are already coming to life. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
