Our Story

WE ARE: A farm, in a forest, in a city.

- The nation's oldest environmental public charter school, cultivating the next generation of environmental and community leaders and college students.

- An urban farm, committed to creating a learning environment that is grounded in a relationship with land, food and community.

- An environmental education center, with a team dedicated to finding meaningful ways to connect our students and community to nature.

YOUR SUPPORT OF CG CAN: impact our entire community.

- Our alumni are making a powerful impact in our city. In fact, four alumni are currently working at Common Ground, molding and modeling for the next generation. Another alumnus went on to supervise recreation programs at New Haven Parks and is now managing youth programs for Yale. 

- Our Schoolyards program is currently partnering with 12 New Haven public schools to provide school gardens, outdoor learning spaces, and staff training and resources through an embedded Common Ground naturalist. We are making nature-based learning a common experience across K-8 schools in New Haven through collaboration.

- Our Urban Farm invites young people in our city to expand their perspective on food equity, waste reduction, and the many ways food is an access point to explore culture, history, and the human experience. The farm also serves greater New Haven through the Mobile Market, which provides fresh food to low-income neighbors living in Senior Living Centers or using WIC coupons and SNAP.
