ReBuildUp Celebrates 10 Years

March 1st is the 10 Year Anniversary of ReBuildUp, LLC’s official founding on March 1st, 2014.

There’s a lot that’s happened over this decade and we continue to use the knowledge, expertise, and experience gained to craft better and better projects.

In the short term, we’ll be revamping the Food Growing League to make it easier for more classrooms to take part while also creating an option to participate separate from school involvement using home kits.

Other major launches are still not quite ready yet, but we hope to have them ready in the coming months.

Thank you again to all those who’ve contributed in both small and big ways in these last 10 years and we look forward to the future!

Welcome FCCLA’s 2020 Virtual National Leadership Conference

Join and Compete in our Leagues!

In case your class can’t participate due to unexpected schedule changes this fall, use this form to sign up now for a chance to participate remotely. We ask for general location (city, state, zip code) to determine where there’s a large group of potential participants.

If you’re a teacher interested in starting the process to bring our programs to your School, use this School Contact Form instead.

And YES! We provide training videos for partner schools.

Happy 4th Birthday ReBuildUp!

The background of the gallery image (click to enlarge) shows a mostly chronological order of the year (March 2017-March 2018) in pictures starting with pics from the 99th Annual NCAFCS in Charlotte almost exactly one year ago up to the Healthy For Good Expo just last weekend in High Point. The text is made up of screen shots from our new Food Growing League (FGL) started this past January.

We look forward to continuing to expand the program and improve the Health & Entrepreneurship skills of students and adults alike.

ReBuildUp Thanks #NCCTE Convention

Thank you Reno Palombit along with NC Family and Consumer Sciences for inviting us out again this year to the NC CTE Summer Convention here in Greensboro. Both Sessions of our Classroom to Food Market Pipeline (CFMP) hit full attendance and all 40 Portable Garden Mini Kits were distributed to attendees.

If you didn’t get a chance to make the Sessions, you can learn more by visiting our Schools page here.

ReBuildUp’s Classroom to Food Market Pipeline Demo Today 1pm & 2pm #CTESC17

Attendees will receive a Portable Garden kit to grow in class this fall. Limit 20 attendees per session. The Portable Garden is part of ReBuildUp’s Classroom to Food Market Pipeline (CFMP) that shows students how to grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, & spices in class or at home using every day materials like water bottles.

Both our first session from 1:00-1:50pm and our second session 2:00-2:50pm will be held in the Meadowbrook Room. Attendees will learn how to setup, harvest, and clean their Portable Garden.

Learn more about bringing the CFMP to your School here.

ReBuildUp at NC CTE Convention 7/26 #CTESC17

*** CORRECTION***
We mistakenly listed the Tuesday, July 25th 1pm NC CTE Opening General Session time as our 1st session time that will take place the next day on July 26th, Wednesday at 1pm & again at 2pm.  We have corrected the post below accordingly. Sorry for any inconvenience (you know how crazy conventions can get).
*** CORRECTION***

We look forward to holding our Portable Garden demo at the NC CTE Convention this week so students can grow food in the classroom to improve food security in their communities.

The Convention is being held at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro. Our first session will be at 1pm on Wednesday and our second will be right after at 2pm.
