Your support helps shatter the myth that a student’s academic success is
limited by their family income.
Nonetheless—poverty, crime, and school readiness remain formable challenges that our students and teachers tackle each and every day.
The 7th Annual TURN Festival is making plans to return on September 30, 2023. Stay tuned for more details.
Presenting the TURN Festival and Dinner requires an abundance of assistance from our sponsors, chefs, vendors, presenters, entertainers, community organizations, and volunteers to make it happen. Many TURN Festival presenters and attendees are struggling during these lean times. Your patronage of local restaurants and artisans and assistance to organizations and neighbors will make a tremendous difference for our friends in need.
Paramount’s signature event, the TURN Festival, Transforming URban Neighborhoods, is a one-day educational each September. Circle City’s celebration of urban sustainability is focused on farm, food, health, and the environment. Now in its fourth year, the free family-friendly festival attracts more than 4,500 attendees. Held on the grounds of the Paramount Farm on the Brookside campus, the Festival is a natural outgrowth of the work being done at the school in urban farming, ecology, green initiatives, and community outreach. Over 50 hands-on demonstrations, exhibits, children’s activities, music, and food are offered. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact the Advancement Office at (317) 519-4588 for further information. The TURN Festival Feast is an evening of cuisine, conversation and camaraderie while savoring the unique culinary styles of award-winning chefs held on the Friday before the public festival. Limited to 100 tickets, this, earth to table experience features six award-winning chefs presenting one magical culinary experience. Tickets can be purchased on the event website.
Paramount's Farm Team works will work with organizations to host a day of service that is meaningful and fun. Having a multi-disciplinary farm in practice nearly every season and a 6-acre campus creates plenty of work to be done. Contact the Farms Coordinator to learn more and schedule a work day or site tour.
Volunteer opportunities exist for individuals who want to support the school farm, TURN Festival, Paramount promotional efforts, or school events. Please contact our VP of Operations for more information.
