Thanks largely to the Hamilton Family Charitable Trust, the AgInnovation Farm will be able to expand its programming for students in the summer and fall.
The Portsmouth AgInnovation Farm, a partnership between the Eastern Rhode Island Conservation District and Portsmouth School District, seeks to empower students through STEAM learning and collaboration in an authentic and engaging environment.
The AgInnovation Farm is a place where students can learn and grow while also giving back to their community. Through collaboration and problem-solving, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that can be applied to many different areas of life.
The Hamilton Family Charitable Trust supports programs that build literacy, workplace, and social-emotional skills, with a focus on empowering students to achieve academically and professionally. The AgInnovation Farm is one of several programs that are being supported by the ERICD through its work with the Hamilton Family Charitable Trust.
“We are thrilled to have funding for our program efforts as we strive to improve and expand our practices to better serve the students and their vision of all that AgInnovation can be. Thanks to the Hamilton Family Charitable Trust, the future work at the AgInnovation farm will be bigger than ever,” said Sara Churgin, ERICD District Manager.
