Thursday afternoon Michael Bennett tweeted an article from the King County Youth Justice system blog, highlighting his work with his wife Pele (through their charitable organization, The Bennett Foundation) to help establish a youth gardening initiative through the county juvenile detention center and Interagency Academy, a school outreach program for children expelled or otherwise unable to participate in the traditional school system.
According to the release published last week, Bennett donated $5,000 to build the garden facility at Opportunity Skyway, a learning center located near Sea-Tac Airport, and judging from this Instagram post Michael and Pele visited the location near the beginning of June to meet with students and take part in the planting.
