Sunrise Project

The mission of Sunrise Project is to provide space and opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to build an equitable community through education, good food and social connection. We envision a resilient community that provides for its own needs and offers opportunities for all people to grow and eat culturally appropriate foods, care for the land and one another. We are a community-driven organization committed to creating an equitable system in which people of all ages and experiences live self-determined, healthy and meaningful lives. We value all knowledge, from technical to experiential; believe in nurturing community relationships and cooperative experiences; work for social justice, personal empowerment, and positive systemic change for our whole community; and strive to accomplish our mission and vision without sacrificing fun and beauty.

Our programming includes Farm to School, community meals, leadership + civic engagement opportunities (Activate Your Voice), Lawrence Fruit Tree Project, Sunrise Community Garden and community-led workshops.
