Kassandra Jones

I’m a young community leader and Outdoor Director passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for children, families, and communities to connect with nature. Through my work with Once Upon a Forest, I help lead free nature-based summer camps that provide children with opportunities to explore, learn, and build relationships outdoors, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. I’m passionate about creating accessible, community-driven initiatives that have a lasting impact. Through the Sprout Fellowship, I’m excited to bring this same approach to food access, environmental education, and community connection through the development of a community greenhouse.

OELF Community Greenhouse Project

This project will create a shared space where community members can grow fresh produce, learn about food production, and connect with one another. The project will make fresh, locally grown food more accessible to families, including those who may experience barriers to accessing it. The greenhouse will also provide opportunities for hands-on learning, environmental education, and community connection.
