How it all started:

 

School Grounds Cafe is a student-run cafe open to the public and located at one of our partner high schools with access to the outside community. In their senior year, students actually run the cafe completely from finances to PR to menu development.

Where we are now:

 

This year, Food Education Fund is very excited to announce that School Grounds Cafe will be taking place at the one and only Barclays Center at every single home game of the Brooklyn Nets and some additional special events!
