Community and the environment are a priority for LAcarGUY, and that is why we have sponsored an urban school garden at Helen Bernstein High School as part of Environmental Media Association 's (EMA) School Garden Program. The goal of the LAcarGUY garden is to teach and motivate children via hands-on experience, while creating a connection with nature and an appreciation of where food comes from. In addition, one of EMA's Young Hollywood board members ("i.e." Amy Smart, Olivia Wilde, Rosario Dawson, Lance Bass) will be recruited to mentor and actively engage the students.Toyota of Hollywood partners with EMA on School Garden Project

Toyota of Hollywood (an LAcarGUY dealership) is proud to announce our sponsorship of Environmental Media Association’s (EMA) School Garden Program at Helen Bernstein High School. This program is an innovative initiative between the EMA and the LAUSD to support gardens and greenery in urban schools across Los Angeles.
Community and environmental causes have always been a priority for LAcarGUY dealerships so we were excited to provide a hands-on educational opportunity through the Helen Bernstein school garden. This “living classroom” will enrich the learning experience for all students at Helen Bernstein and will help develop healthier food choices and eating patterns that can last a lifetime.
EMA launched an ongoing partnership with LAUSD to support gardens and greenery in urban schools across Los Angeles. The school garden will be a great opportunity for the children take their learning beyond the four walls, in a more dynamic environment. Math, science, nutrition, health, and fitness can all be taught through the use of these gardens. In addition to the garden itself, EMA will also provide a celebrity mentoring program for students with a member of their Young Hollywood Board that includes Amy Smart, Nicole Richie, Maroon 5 and Rosario Dawson!
