Program Information

Our Track Record

Since 2013, Ranger Good Works has supported the Garden Club at Dillard Elementary School, providing students with hands-on opportunities to explore gardening, environmental conservation, sustainability, and healthy living. The program introduces students to planting, wildlife protection, identifying plants and trees, and developing an appreciation for nature while supporting Broward County Public Schools’ “Go Green” initiative. Through the guidance of dedicated mentors and community volunteers, students develop responsibility, teamwork, confidence, and environmental awareness while learning the importance of protecting and preserving natural resources.

Current Programs

Dillard Elementary School Garden Club

Ranger Good Works continues to support Dillard Elementary’s Garden Club, where students participate in hands-on gardening activities, including planting flowers, fruits, and vegetables, maintaining garden beds, and harvesting fresh produce. Students also learn about healthy nutrition and ways to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into their daily diets. The Garden Club provides an engaging outdoor learning environment that encourages environmental stewardship, creativity, teamwork, and healthy lifestyle choices.

Oriole Elementary School Garden Revitalization Project – 2026–2027

As part of our expanded partnership with Oriole Elementary School, Ranger Good Works will work alongside school leadership, volunteers, and community partners during the 2026–2027 school year to clean up and revitalize the school’s existing garden area. This initiative will focus on clearing overgrown vegetation, removing debris, restoring planting areas, and creating a welcoming outdoor space for future gardening and environmental enrichment activities. Our goal is to transform the garden into an interactive learning environment where students can explore nature, develop gardening skills, and learn about sustainability and healthy living.

Through our After-School Clubs and Programs Pillar, these initiatives reflect Ranger Good Works’ commitment to creating engaging educational opportunities while improving school environments. As our outreach continues across five Broward County Public Schools, we look forward to exploring additional gardening and environmental education opportunities that connect students with nature and encourage lifelong environmental responsibility.
