The NourishU Nemours Nutrition and Wellness Lab and Family Market was created to provide Cristo Rey Orlando students with hands-on experiences that prepare them for the workforce through nutrition and health education, while also serving the food needs of our community.
Through a partnership with the Ginsburg Institute at Nemours Children's Health, our students explore nutrition and wellness in meaningful ways. Together, we address food insecurity, learn about balanced living, and foster a deeper understanding of how access to healthy food impacts our community.
The lab encourages leadership, teamwork, and responsibility — empowering students to become advocates for health and equity in their families and communities.
