Help Your Way

We would LOVE to feature local artists on all four sides of our new TerraTeach campus. Themes of childhood, nature, community, hope, and chasing our dreams are what we're trying to capture. Who will come and paint us!?

In addition to teaching kids who are enrolled at our main location how to grow food, we want to bring SCHOOL GARDENS to kids all over Knoxville. Want to help us build or maintain them? Let's talk!

Sponsor a student in need! 100% of your donation will offset the cost for camp or after school programming for one or more students. You tell us your intentions for your donation!

All kinds of books are welcome - from reference to literature to graphic novels to kids books. We'll use our library to learn and to share with the community- no book is unwelcome!

Planting pots, tools, compost, soil, etc. We can also use donations of seeds, hydroponic systems, garden bed building materials, and of course - we'd love to have some gardeners around too! 

What's a kids program without a room full of paint, paper, ribbons, scissors, markers, crayons, containers, and everything in between?! We can make use of just about anything in your craft closet. =)

Gently-used items of all kinds are welcome! Kids furniture, outdoor toys, tables, chairs, etc. Also can make great use of bookshelves, aquariums, desks, outdoor furniture, etc. 

Farming and gardening are building-intensive pursuits. We'd love to accept any and all wood, nails, screws, metal/poly sheeting, tools, paint, etc. 

The million-dollar value we provide to the kids in our programs are lots of adults who are caring, aware, kind, and involved! Whether you're a professional educator or someone who just wants to support kids in their growth, we'd love to have you. Volunteers of all ages, abilities, preferences, and lifestyles welcome!

Learning and teaching how to farm and garden takes time, and experiences gardeners and farmers are worth more than their weight in GOLD. These folks can offer advice to our staff, teach kids directly, or help us get the daily chores done. Your choice!

The world of funding is complex and time-consuming. We would love to get to know an experienced grant writer to help us apply for grants we're likely to win and dissuade us from applying when it doesn't make sense. 

Are you a lawyer, CPA, or other professional whose services routinely cost $300-$500/hr? We're looking for long-term relationships and short-term pro bono support. Let's talk!

Our founder and directors all have entrepreneurial experience, but more business know-how, ideas, or support is absolutely welcome. We'd love to build a network of seasoned leaders and advisors to help us navigate our growth in a thoughtful way!
