PARTNERSHIPS
Westgate Community School partners with many community businesses and organizations! We love to collaborate and show appreciation in our community. Here are some of our most recent partnerships.
We partner with Future Forward as part of their Veterinary Assistant training program. Their students help us with the farm by assisting our Environmental Education Coordinator with the health and wellbeing of our chickens and goats.

We offer up growing plots over the summer and fall to our partners at My Kids Lunch! This provides an option of freshly grown produce for the lunches that My Kids Lunch provides to our school and others! Our students even help to pick tomatoes and peppers that go into meals and salads!
