Global Community Engagement and Service: A Service Project with Global Growers & Trip to Dekalb Farmer's Market

Primary tabs

Sponsored by the Office of International Education, this day trip is an opportunity to learn about some of the global communities in the Atlanta area and engage in a service project!  This trip includes a visit to the Dekalb Farmer's Market - a market with products from around the world and a rich cultural representation of people from more than 40 countries, speaking in 50 different languages and dialects.  Participants will also engage in a service project with Global Growers, a non-profit that creates opportunities in sustainable agriculture, by growing good food, training farmers, and providing economic opportunities for international farmers.  Global Growers supports a global community of farmers, many of whom came to Atlanta as refugees of war and are working to reconnect to their agricultural heritage in their new home in Georgia.
