Nothing Grows Alone
Rooted & Rising in partnership with GMUUC's Kids Culinary Camp
Tuesday, July 21, 2026
Legacies Peace Center is excited to partner with Georgia Mountains Unitarian Universalist Church (GMUUC) for this years Kids Culinary Camp as part of our Rooted & Rising program.
Executive Director Emily Cook will lead an interactive session exploring interdependence through the story of our food. Using fresh fruits and vegetables, children will discover how every meal is made possible through relationships - with healthy soil, pollinators, sunshine, rain, farmers, families, and communities.
Grounded in Legacies Peace Center's peacebuilding mission, this hands-on learning experience invites young people to see food not simply as something we eat, but as something that connects us to one another, to the earth, and to generations of people who have cultivated and shared food traditions before us.
By fostering gratitude, reducing food waste, and encouraging care for the natural world, Rooted & Rising helps cultivate the next generation of compassionate environmental stewards, thoughtful leaders, and peacebuilders.
Preserving the Voice of Granby
Special Project | Community Leadership & Cultural Preservation
Saturday, July 25, 2026
Every community has a story, but Granby's is written in the lived memories of its longtime residents, ranching families, and local leaders.
Legacies Peace Center is honored to support the Granby Oral History Project, one of our first special initiatives dedicated to community peacebuilding through cultural preservation and local leadership.
Led by Dr. Anne Chance, LPC's Director of Advancement, this professional heritage preservation project is designed to capture the stories, traditions, and lived experiences that define Granby's unique identity before they are lost.
Through structured workshops, custom educational curricula, and expert archival consulting, the project does more than document history - it strengthens community identity, fosters intergenerational relationships, and preserves local knowledge for future generations. The resulting oral histories will help create authentic cultural resources and exhibits that celebrates the people and places that have shaped Granby.
At Legacies Peace Center, we believe that preserving community memory is an act of peacebuilding. By honoring local voices, strengthening connections across generations, and ensuring that stories are not forgotten, communities build a deeper understanding of their shared past and a stronger foundation for their future.
We are excited to partner with the Granby community on this meaningful initiative and look forward to sharing updates as this special project unfolds.
