Hello School Garden Champions and Allies! Every year, we host a School Garden Support Organization Leadership Institute to provide an opportunity for school garden professionals from across the country to collaborate, learn from one another, and develop resources to share with a national audience. Collectively, SGSO Institute participants have improved their own work while also sharing ideas and resources to help others do the same. The 2021 School Garden Support Organization Leadership Institute will be entirely virtual (surprise!). In this new format, we will gather Key Activity Working Groups of 6-8 SGSO Leaders virtually from across the country. These teams will work together to prepare digital resources and a Webinar or other, virtual presentation in which they will share best practices on a SGSO Key Activity with a national audience.  In the face of the myriad challenges of 2020, all of you in SGSOs across the country are innovating in creative and inspiring ways to sustain and enhance garden education for their students. We are eager for other SGSOs to learn from you! We want to honor the time and expertise you all bring to the table and, therefore, with generous support from Whole Kids Foundation, we are so pleased to be able to provide stipends for peoples’ contributions to these Working Groups.  This year’s SGSO Institute is open to newcomers and SGSO Institute Alumni! Applications are due November 6, 2020. To learn more about this exciting opportunity and apply, visit: lifelab.org/sgso. Want to learn more? Join us for a 2021 SGSO Leadership Institute Applicant Information and Q&A Session - October 21, 2020, 11am-11:45 PST  Register Here   Best regards, Whitney Cohen, Life Lab Education Director
