Environmental Media Association’s Young Hollywood Board and their School Gardens Program

The Impact of the Young Hollywood Board

Young actors and actresses serve as role models to millions of people, especially youth. Through their actions, celebrities can inspire youth in their formative years, and EMA has recruited celebrities to the program to mentor and actively engage the students in the garden programs.

From planting and tending the gardens to speaking to students about healthy eating choices, board members such as Amy Smart, Olivia Wilde, Rosario Dawson, and Lance Bass will interact with and share in the joy children derive from the gardens.

EMA hopes to utilize the Young Hollywood Board to also generate press for the programs around the country and help generate local community and financial support.
