Students work with teachers to develop and integrate social justice-oriented lessons into curricula and tactile knowledge of gardening processes. By building a community garden, volunteers will cultivate lasting relationships with students, children, and families who have historically been marginalized from participating in the larger community. By helping build opportunities for families to grow their own produce and teaching children about gardening and the justice behind healthy food, U of U students can gain deeper knowledge about social justice and community development. SJG involves direct work in activism, community dialogue, service learning, education, gardening, food security, and environmental issues."--quoted from Bennion Center website, https://webapps.utah.edu/forms/bennion/studirprog/index.tpl
