We have extensive experience working with academic partners—from large state universities and smaller liberal arts colleges to school districts and inclusive post-secondary programs.

Hearts of Glass provides opportunities for engaged learning by catalyzing critical conversations around a variety of topics:

  • Agriculture | Horticulture
  • Education | Human Development
  • Entrepreneurship | Social Entrepreneurship
  • Environmental Studies | Sustainability
  • Food Studies | Nutrition
  • Health Studies | Public Health

Choose one topic or expand your focus for a more interdisciplinary program. Our programming lends itself to collaborations and we can offer helpful thoughts on partners.
