WEST COUNTY’S “PLANT TO PLATE”
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
Sowing Seeds of Success for Local High School Students
H
High school is a time when young adults begin to prepare themselves for what they will encounter in
the outside world. But they are often so busy studying, participating in sports or other extracurricular
activities, or completing endless applications for colleges, that they don’t get any “real world”
experience until they are out on their own. One way that West Contra Costa County students
can attain some of that important life experience while they are still in high school is through
participation in the “Plant to Plate” Internship Program, a collaborative project of Anaviv Catering and
Events and the nonprofit West County DIGS (Developing Instructional Gardens in Schools).
