Marisa Weinstock (Gardener)
Marisa can be found at NGS’s vegetable garden on most Saturdays, working with our students or harvesting the latest crop of vegetables, which are provided to families and prepared for students in our NGS kitchen through our daily hot meal program.
College Interns
Through our longstanding partnership with Dominican University, we are joined by a group of dedicated college students who assist the work we do, providing support to staff, students and families in the areas of academic tutoring, social services, social media and marketing support. This mutually beneficial partnership provides local college students with invaluable experience while helping us support our scholars.
