AmirBuilding Gardens Growing Communities

From our President 3

Three years ago I set out to build a pluralistic summer camp in the Israeli Negev. Following in the footsteps of David Ben-Gurion, this camp would bring Jews from across the globe to Israel and instill in them a passion for Zionism, love for Judaism, and yearning to make the desert bloom. In 2009 I received a grant from Washington University in St. Louis to run a summer gardening project for youth in Yeroahm, an Israeli development town in the Negev. As my planning progressed and my goals became clearer, so too did the name for our movement – Amir.

Amir, in Hebrew, means the top of the tree. Our mission is to harness the power of gardening to inspire and motivate communities to serve others. By facilitating the space for children to design, build, and plant gardens together, we teach about cooperation, sharing limited resources, and the interrelatedness of all humans. We envision spreading this educational model across the world, reaching thousands of people and providing them the agency necessary to effect change in their local communities. In doing so, we can cultivate a generation of “social-action” farmers that view their Judaism as an impetus to act with justice and kindness.

Contained in this booklet is our organizational history, important background information, our current projects, and a plan for growth. In Summer 2011 we partnered with five camps to build beautiful community gardens, and this upcoming summer we will work with 10+ camps. Our young accomplishments are the tip of the iceberg for our potential impact – the Amir Project is a scalable model that can run at synagogues, schools, and most other educational institutions. We look forward to expanding and spreading our message to different, diverse communities. We welcome you to join us in creating a more environmentally conscious and socially just world.

Sincerely, David M. Fox

Amir (in Hebrew, top of the tree) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating issues of social justice through youth development and community building. Research in the field of childhood development indicates that Environmental Education (EE) can increase civic engagement and instill empathy in children. Nonetheless, there remains a lack of formal and informal mechanisms to educate children about our Earth. Amir exists to fill this unmet need. Through its comprehensive gardening project at summer camps, Amir inspires and motivates youth to serve others.

Amir recruits and trains young adults to build “social-action” community gardens. The Amir Project at summer camps facilitates the space for children to design, build, and plant gardens together. In doing so, we teach the camp community about issues of hunger, poverty, and the importance of sharing limited resources. Our curriculum focuses on building participants’ skills in cooperation and dialogue, and it contains programming that spans the wide spectrum of learning.

Central to the Amir Project is harnessing the Earth to help those in need. While summer camps end in mid-August, the growing season lasts well into September and sometimes, October and November. To ensure that we do not waste food, Amir connects its partner summer camps to local food pantries and helps establish relationships so that these pantries can receive the gardens’ produce.

While there are other organizations that engage summer camps in nature-based programming, Amir distinguishes itself and builds a competitive advantage in three distinct ways: 1) Amir’s low-cost projects are scalable and adaptable to a wide range of camps; 2) Amir provides direct oversight to its project through weekly meetings with Lead Farmers, pre-site assessment, and mid-summer visits; and 3) Amir partners with other organizations to recruit its Lead Farmers.

We maintain that we have entered a niche market that will allow us to expand rapidly. Research conducted by the ACA shows that 80% of camp directors believe that fostering a relationship with the Earth is important to their camps’ goals. Through our recruitment efforts and camp expansion, Amir is “cultivating a generation of farmers” that will carry with them a strong connection to the Earth and desire to fight social inequalities.

exeCutive summary 5

Interactive educational programming can have a positive impact on a child’s social and cognitive development. Gardening is a unique form of environmental education because of its hands-on approach to learning. Community gardening affords children the opportunity to learn in a variety of contexts; it integrates visual, experiential, and bodily kinesthetic forms of learning.

Organizational psychologist David Kolb wrote, “learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.” His book, Experience as the Source of Learning and Development continues to influence the work of teachers and trainers and provides a firm theoretical base for experiential learning. Kolb breaks down learning into four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation (Do, Observe, Think, Plan). Through experiential learning, Kolb argues, information resonates with students and applies to their lives outside of the classroom. The Amir Project utilizes Kolb’s four stages of learning; children actively work in the gardens, reflect on their experiences through educational programming, and create a plan about what to do with their harvest. As a result, the Amir Project transfers knowledge and information to children in a concrete and tangible way.

In 1976 the United Nations adopted the Belgrade Charter, which provided a widely accepted goal statement for EE. The Charter declared that EE instills a commitment in individuals to work collectively toward solutions of current problems and the “prevention of new ones.”

Two years after the Belgrade Charter, the UN adopted the Tbilisi Declaration, stating that EE is a means to develop the skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the interrelatedness among humans, cultures, and biophysical surroundings. In addition, the UN declared that environmental education requires a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to teaching with “learning experiences in natural, built, and social environments.”

6 Context and need

environmental eduCation: to build a just World

exPeriential garden eduCation

Although EE is essential to our future, it is missing from our children’s education. There are over 2,500 camps that belong to the American Camp Association (ACA). Among ACA affiliated directors, 86% believe that connecting their campers to the natural environment is important to fulfilling their camp’s mission, goals, and objectives. In addition, 80% of directors hold that fostering campers’ connections to the natural environment requires purposeful programming. Nevertheless, according to the ACA, only 35% of summer camps provide community garden projects to their children. Even fewer camps use gardening as a means to educate youth about issues of social justice.

Since 1861 summer camps have served over 500 million children. Today, more than 10 million children go to summer camp each year, which means that over 6 million children are not afforded interactive garden education over the summer. As a result, too many of our youth are unaware of their complex and significant interaction with the Earth, and consequently, with others.

Although the majority of camp directors seek to infuse their communities with garden-based education, most do not have the knowledge or resources to access this educational model. Amir’s approach of recruitment, training, and oversight enables directors to bring integrated social-action gardening to their camp communities.

jeWisH Community’s resPonse

Over the past decade, a number of Jewish nonprofit organizations have sprouted across North America and Israel. Educational farms that strive to teach communities about Jewish agrarian laws of charity and our Jewish land-based traditions are an important part of this movement. Each of these educational farms impact disparate communities in profound ways. Still, there are too many Jewish communities that do not have the knowledge or resources necessary to access this educational model.

The Jewish community has a unique opportunity to capitalize on the benefits of environmental education. There are 155 camps that belong to the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC); each commits itself to teaching campers about the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam and social action. While these camps would like to have social-action community gardens as vehicles to further their missions, many cannot access this educational model. Amir recruits and trains young Jewish adults to go to these camps and to deliver this engaging educational content.

Three years ago, the FJC awarded Camp Eden Village a grant to build the Jewish community’s first “Green” camp. Eden Village’s programming centers on its farm and has been a source of inspiration for the Jewish environmental movement. The Jewish Farm School directs all farm-based programming over the summer and provides educational opportunities for schools and synagogues in the New York area during the year. Again, though, Camp Eden Village and the Jewish Farm School (JFS) are limited in their reach because of geographic constraints. The Amir Project aims to take best practices from Eden Village and JFS, and apply those to camps and communities around the world.

We work to:• Commit youth to living

environmentally conscious lives• Build commonality between children

with varying disabilities• Educate youth about poverty and

provide them tangible ways of addressing issues of food injustice

• Demonstrate to campers that their relationship with the Earth is rooted within Jewish tradition

History and Future 9

Amir founder David Fox understood the power of experiential education from his extensive background in summer camping. After spending five summers as a camper and three as a counselor, David recognized a void in these summer experiences. Although camps provide children a fun, safe environment to grow socially and emotionally, they were missing a critical opportunity to educate their campers about environmental stewardship and how their community can rally around serving others.

In 2009, David Fox set out to develop an organization that would help these camps educate thousands of children each summer about their moral obligations to others. As a first step, he received a $6,000 grant from Washington University in St. Louis to run a gardening project in the development town of Yeroham. David immersed himself in the art of Jewish educational gardening and successfully implemented the project, involving over 30 children from Yeroham. The garden served as a space to teach Yeroham children about Shabbat and how our ancient agrarian laws motivate us to enact Tikkun Olam today.

David piloted the Amir Project at Camp Ramah in Canada the following summer, demonstrating the possibilities of a scalable model of environmental and social justice education at camps. The project was well received, so our team grew the Amir Project to five camps in summer 2011. Our partner camps were again pleased to have the expertise and oversight necessary to build these community gardens and run Jewish Farming education. Building on this recent success, we will grow to ten camps in summer 2012.

In the first week of June, Amir will train 30 young adults to implement its community garden project at summer camps. Included in this year’s training will be Rabbi Michael Birnholz from Beth Shalom in Vero Beach, Florida. Rabbi Birnholz represents the beginning of Amir’s expansion into synagogues and other faith-based educational institutions that aim to access farm-based programming. We look forward to engaging more synagogues, schools, and faith-based organizations in the future.

amir ProjeCt For CamPs

Amir has developed a comprehensive and engaging curriculum, using foundations provided by top EE experts. Many of the topics that we focus on are never addressed in schools. While some children can turn to their parents for information on these topics, many cannot.

• Farming and growing food• Health, bodies, and nourishment• Connection to the land• Composting and the life cycle• Food and ethics: the implications of our choices• Our sphere of obligation

Amir uses organic gardening as its tool to teach environmental and social justice education. We recommend participation at least three times a week. Programs will usually last one hour, but can be lengthened and shortened as needed. Our programming is through a non-denominational lens.

• Build sustainable organic gardens that grow wide varieties of vegetables and plants.

• Run age appropriate educational programming in, and around, these gardens. All programming will be age appropriate.

• Grow food that participants can eat.• Facilitate a camper-led food donation • Set up a camp-wide composting program• Survey participants before, during, and after the

summer to measure educational success and to gage participant enthusiasm.

• Run special needs programs.

LINGUISTIC intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals

LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL intelligence consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.

MUSICAL intelligence involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of music. According to Gardner, musical intelligence runs parallel to linguistic intelligence.

BODILY-KINESTHETIC intelligence entails the potential of using one’s whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.

SPATIAL intelligence involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.

INTERPERSONAL intelligence is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people. It allows people to work effectively with others.

INTRAPERSONAL intelligence entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one’s feelings, fears and motivations.

Campers find area, volume of their gardens and study the growth of their crops...finding length, width, and area of our garden

Campers are challenged to analyze songs about social responsibility.

Campers participate in hands-on activities such as raking, shoveling, and planting.

Campers are charged with the task of deciding how much of their produce they will give to charity.

12 diFFerent Forms oF learning

The Amir curriculum adopts the educational philosophy of developmental psychologist Howard Gardner. Gardner, a Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, developed a theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner suggests that human beings have many different ways to learn and process information. He formed a list of “intelligences” that exist independently of one another, but together, form a child’s cognitive and social development.

amir Program matrix

Amir runs a weeklong seminar in order train its Lead Farmers and Fellows. Last year we ran our seminar at Capital Camps and Retreat Center in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. At this seminar, Amir staff taught its Farmers and Fellows the “nuts and bolts” of how to build a large-scale organic garden and how to run educational programming utilizing these gardens. Farmers and Fellows built their own garden over the course of the week and familiarized themselves with the Amir Sourcebook. Highlights of the training included guest speeches by Judy Frank (MsW) and Jakir Manela, founding Director of Kayam Farm in Reisterstown, Maryland.

When a camp chooses to partner with Amir, it receives our Sourcebook containing both a gardening manual and program bank. Each year we add a new component and choose a new focus for our summer camps. Ranging from composting to installing a water recycling system, Amir can utilize a wide range of approaches to communicate its educational message.

Amir has created a scalable and adaptable template for environmental and social justice education at summer camps. We understand that each camp is different, and we work with each director on an individual basis to fit the project to his or her community’s needs. To begin our project, Amir facilitates a “visioning session” with each director and his or her Amir Team before the training seminar to outline how the Amir Project can best manifest itself during the summer.

As we grow and expand our reach, Amir will create a network of community gardens that will produce thousands of fresh vegetables. With the proper execution and implementation of our Garden to Pantry Imitative, we will be able to facilitate the donation of this food to people who are food insecure. This initiative has the potential to be a model for feeding the needy across the country.

The Amir Seminar teaches our Lead Farmers and Fellows how to build large-scale organic gardens and how to run educational programming utilizing these gardens. While this is a necessary first step, many of our Farmers have little or no experience gardening, and require weekly oversight and assistance. In addition to our weekly Skype conversations, Amir also conducts a pre-site assessment and mid-summer visit at each camp.

Amir is unique in that it operates at camps across the country, creating a network of community gardens and camps dedicating themselves to serving others through environmental stewardship. Much of our focus over the summer is on creating a forum for our Farmers in California to share their progress and best practices with our Farmers in New York. In addition, our community extends to camp directors, allowing them to communicate and share best practices on how to engage their communities in the project.

16 Partners

As Amir expands, we will forge strategic partnerships with other organizations for mutual benefit. Collaboration with our partner organizations not only adds value to Amir and the other organizations with which we partner, but also for the youth whom we jointly serve. Some of our potential partnerships are described below and outline how Amir can scale at low cost. In addition, as wecontinue to establish ourselves and grow, new opportunities for partnerhips will continue to present themselves:

The American Camp Asociation provides services for camp owners and professionals. It has over 7,000 members across North America. Amir became an ACA affiliated member in 2011 and looks forward to

attending its annual vendors conference. We have spoken with ACA leadership and have learned that no other organizations like Amir exist within the current summer camping industry.

The Jewish Farm School (JFS) is an organization whose mission is to practice and promote sustainable agriculture and to support food systems rooted in justice and Jewish traditions. It currently runs the farm at Camp Eden Village and

enrolls students that seek learning horticulture and permaculture design. Amir is close friends with JFS and we look forward to working with it to run our training for summer camps and, in the future, synagogues and day schools.

The Adamah Fellowship is a three-month leadership training program for Jewish yong adults in their 20s that integrates organic farming, sustainable living, Jewish learning, community building and contemplatative spiritual

practice. Amir recruits many of its lead farmers from Adamah and Urban Adamah, and works closely with its founder, Adam Berman.

Hazon’s mission is to create healthy and sustainable communities in the Jewish world and beyond. It accopmlishes this goal through bike rides, leadership development within the environmental and food

justice field, and capacity building for environmental nonprofit organizations. Amir is a recipient of a Hazon grant and is beginning to find mutuliple avenues of partnership with Hazon. Hazon has a network of over 60 CSAs (community supported agriculture) and we look forward to helping those communities add to their educational content.

Amir’s expansion is dependent on contributed revenue over the next four years. Amir becomes self-sustaining when it reaches 90 camps. To get to that point, Amir must expand its staff and work from a national office. With gifts equaling $690,000, Amir will fulfill its mission of inspiring a “generation of farmers,” and will become economically sustainable by FY 2016. When we reach this point, we will be able to export our educational model to year-round institutions such as public schools, day schools, and other religious centers. In doing so, Amir will pave the way for an international movement of communities dedicated to serving others.
