About Mountain Roots

Program Overview
Localizing our food system is one of the most impactful and actionable steps we can take to solve so many of our
global problems. Across the central Rocky Mountains and southwestern Colorado, AmeriCorps service with Mountain
Roots Healthy Futures Program builds social, economic, and environmental health for rural communities. We work
with organizations throughout the region who are leaders in their fields, activating community-driven initiatives
including Farm to School, Regenerative Agriculture & Community Gardens, Hunger Solutions (Community Food
Security), and other programs in public health, conservation, and the environment. With Healthy Futures AmeriCorps,
you’ll build a bridge from college to career while building and sustaining healthy communities, healthy people, and a
healthy environment.
Organization Overview
Mountain Roots is a local food systems initiative serving the central Rocky Mountain communities of Gunnison and
Crested Butte. We run a district-wide Farm to School program; we manage five youth and community gardens focused
on engagement of marginalized/disadvantaged residents, and we’re a key agricultural producer in Gunnison Valley,
practicing Regenerative Agriculture on two community farm sites. We are a leader in Community Food Security,
meeting food needs of underserved residents with food rescue and food distribution initiatives, including providing
weekly boxes of fresh produce along with cooking education and community engagement to 150 low-income,
vulnerable, and socially disadvantaged households.
