ROOTS FOR THE HOME TEAM

ROOTS FOR THE HOME TEAM is a non-profit organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota. The organization is small, with a team of four employees. They generate an annual revenue of $2.5 million. ROOTS FOR THE HOME TEAM works with local student-run community gardens to provide youth with valuable experiences in personal and professional growth. Youth involved in the program learn about their own capabilities, gain real-world business experience, and access new opportunities. The organization partners with local chefs to develop and prepare fresh, healthy salad recipes using produce grown by the youth. These recipes incorporate the youth's ideas, innovations, cultural traditions, and personal preferences. ROOTS FOR THE HOME TEAM markets and sells their salad creations to consumers at various locations, including baseball stadiums and grocery stores like Kowalski's Markets. This program not only teaches youth culinary skills but also provides them with business skills, sales, and marketing experience, helping them build courage, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
