Began in 2015, Sprout Scouts was a nutritional initiative to target food deserts for families in East Austin. We sought to work towards a healthier world by beginning first with our community—through an entrepreneurial spirit and active collaboration with farmers markets, we strove to promote nutrition awareness and provide easily-accessible produce those in need. Sprout Scouts featured an after-school program that taught nutritional literacy, as well as farm stands in the student pick-up area in schools to provide access to fresh, healthy, and accessible produce. This allowed families to decrease their reliance on fast food and other unhealthy food options and build better eating habits. The desired outcomes were reduced disease related to diet, fewer school absences, and better grades for students as a result.
