    Sobre Nós

    Since our founding, we have worked to address the historical inequities that impact Black and low-income families East of the River by building intergenerational community spaces that heal, empower, and create lasting opportunities.

    We believe that strong communities are built on access, connection, and stewardship. MSK is known for its off-grid Applied Research Garden (ARG)—a fully solar-powered and rainwater-harvested learning hub where residents can gain hands-on experience in food justice, sustainability, and green infrastructure.

    Whom We Serve:

    • Ward 7 and Ward 8 residents facing food insecurity, unemployment, or social isolation
    • Senior returning citizens and caregivers seeking healing-centered support
    • Youth and young adults exploring career pathways in agriculture, solar, and green workforce development
    • Families and neighbors in need of access to fresh, locally grown produce and environmental education

    Our Values:

    • Intergenerational Community: We intentionally bridge the gap between elders and youth, creating spaces where knowledge and care flow freely between generations.
    • Healing-Centered Service: Every program we offer is trauma-informed, culturally rooted, and designed to nurture the whole person.
    • Stewardship: We are committed to leaving every space, project, and person better than we found them.
    • Equity & Access: We prioritize those who have been historically marginalized, ensuring everyone has access to healthy food, safe spaces, and career opportunities.

    Our Vision:

    MSK envisions a future where every resident East of the River has access to healing-centered spaces, fresh food, and meaningful opportunities to thrive. Through green workforce training, food access initiatives, and community-centered education, we work every day to turn this vision into reality.
