When a group of second and third graders at Woodward Elementary slices fresh tomatoes or pulls mint from the school garden, Kalamazoo College student Hannah Parsons \u201926 sees more than an after-school activity. She sees the roots of community.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are certain it\u2019s magic,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cWe start Club Grub with piles of tomatillo vines, and two hours later, they\u2019ve cooked a full meal for 20 people. They\u2019re so proud of what they\u2019ve made.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That magic moment when a child realizes food comes from the Earth and not just a store shelf has shaped Parsons\u2019 time at K. What began as volunteer work through the Center for Civic Engagement\u2019s<\/a> (CCE) Club Grub program has blossomed into a deep passion for food education, community partnership and public health.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was able to volunteer all through sophomore year, and now I\u2019m the program\u2019s Civic Engagement Scholar through the CCE,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s special to help lead a program that means so much to me.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That enthusiasm carried into last summer when a Community Building Internship (CBI)<\/a> allowed Parsons to continue her food education work with children. With her community partners at the Kalamazoo Nature Center\u2014including Laurel Wong and the Fair Food Matters Program\u2014she helped design and run Dig it at DeLano, a four-week experience about food, sustainable agriculture and the environment. At DeLano Farms<\/a>, Parsons helped children grow vegetables, learn about local agriculture, and explore how food connects to the world around them.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe spent long, sunny days out on the farm, which does a lot of community-supported agriculture work,\u201d she said. \u201cIt brought together everything I loved about Club Grub, just on a much bigger scale.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club Grub describes itself as a cooking and gardening after-school program, but to Parsons, it\u2019s much more.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about food, but it\u2019s also about access, education and curiosity,\u201d she said. \u201cIn my role as a Civic Engagement Scholar, I have led multiple workshops with my Club Grub volunteer team, and through these structured reflections, we talk a lot about food sovereignty and food apartheid\u2014 when communities are denied equal access to nutritious foods through oppressive historical practices. That\u2019s very real here in Kalamazoo.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sees Club Grub as a way to uproot those inequities.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love seeing the kids get to experience so many types of food at such a young age,\u201d she said. \u201cThe kids we work with are in second and third grade\u2014peak Oreo and Cheeto time. But that\u2019s also when you start forming habits that you\u2019ll carry into adulthood. Showing them where food comes from, how it grows and what\u2019s in season, that\u2019s powerful.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Club Grub curriculum centers on seasonal produce, international cuisines and hands-on experiences. When guest chefs visit, the lessons become even more personal, and the children\u2019s reactions keep Parsons motivated.\u202f <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time I walk into Woodward, they run up gushing about the dishes we\u2019ve made or the field trips we\u2019ve taken,\u201d Parsons said.\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are often just as amazed.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll joke, \u2018You cooked all that in two hours? Why don\u2019t you do that at home?\u2019\u201d Parsons said.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many children, Club Grub\u2019s field trips are a unique chance to explore the wider community while connecting places with their food.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey love piling into the van and discovering a new place just 15 minutes away,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of them had never been to places like Woods Lake or the AACORN community farm. It\u2019s such a joy to see them and the Kalamazoo College student participants experience that.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parsons also treasures how the program gives children ownership of their space.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we\u2019re in the Woodward Garden, they get to plant, water and care for the beds,\u201d she said. \u201cThe returning third graders love showing the second graders around. It\u2019s this little moment of leadership that happens naturally and it\u2019s something they can carry with them through school.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through her summer CBI, Parsons saw how her work fit into the broader network of Kalamazoo\u2019s food systems.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned how much community involvement goes into things we take for granted like where our cafeteria food comes from,\u201d she said. \u201cSeeing DeLano Farms producing so much food without heavy machinery or chemicals and then realizing that produce might end up at K or at the Valley Hub at Kalamazoo Valley Community College was eye-opening. Everything is connected.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBI experience also deepened her understanding of reciprocity and humility in community engagement.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy as a college student to slip into the mindset of thinking you know more than others because you are taking higher education classes,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cBut the community is the expert of its own needs and desires. You have to show up, be curious, listen and build trust. My internship locked that in for me.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described her approach as meeting people where they are.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s about asking, \u2018How can we work together toward shared goals?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m a temporary resident here, but the people I work with are permanent ones. I\u2019ve learned that anywhere you go, you shouldn\u2019t assume you\u2019re the most important person in the room. Everyone\u2019s knowledge matters and it\u2019s important to look out for who doesn\u2019t have a seat at the table.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those lessons are shaping Parsons\u2019 path. She recently applied to the Master of Public Health program at Grand Valley State University, where she hopes to focus on community health education.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy K-Plan<\/a><\/em> has led me down a path of food and education,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to be a health educator and program developer, someone who helps people build healthier relationships with their bodies, their communities and their environment. I don\u2019t know yet if that will be through a nonprofit, a hospital or a local government, but my experience with the CCE has shown me how all of those worlds connect.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parsons encourages other students to get involved with the CCE in whatever way fits their schedule.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was a first-year student, I knew everyone in the CCE was super involved and I was afraid I couldn\u2019t commit to that level,\u201d she said. \u201cBut once I dipped my toe in, I realized there are so many ways to engage through classes, internships or programs like Club Grub.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her advice to fellow students is simple and heartfelt.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you care about food, which we all should because we eat every day, get involved. Club Grub is such a literal, ground-up way to connect with Kalamazoo. And if you love kids, this is the place for you. They\u2019re hilarious and they remind me every day to stay curious.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the Dig it at DeLano experience, she calls it one of the best opportunities she\u2019s had at K. She also encourages other students to pursue a CBI.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s flexible, it\u2019s paid and it\u2019s the best networking experience I\u2019ve had,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cYou get to meet community partners who really care about working with students, and you see how your ideas can make an impact. It\u2019s a great way to embed yourself in the city, and I feel like I learned so much about what types of jobs exist in the world, especially those little niche ones. I could go and be one of 100 interns at Google, and that would be cool, but 99 other people would have that experience. These internships are one of a kind. They put a unique spin on working.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on it all, Parsons summed up what she\u2019s learned from three years of digging, cooking and growing alongside Kalamazoo kids.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFood brings people together,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we share food and stories, we\u2019re not just feeding ourselves, we\u2019re building community.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
