Sprout’s goal is to educate the youth about the importance and opportunities within Illinois’ agriculture industry, as well as provide local businesses and farms with a larger job applicant pool. Sprout plans to do this by creating an agricultural education program with a curriculum that teaches agriculture business skills, as well as farm management skills, and that curriculum will be a combination of online modules, in-person visits to Sprout’s partners (local businesses, farms, etc), and in-person workshops taught by Sprout’s team. After a two-semester pilot program with the Cunningham Children’s Home, Sprout will take feedback and adjust the program as needed.
