Northey Street City Farm in Brisbane Australia has been operating since 1994. I am sure they could provide you with advice on their approach to this issue, which I am also sure would be very positive and inclusive. Go to http://www.northeystreetcityfarm.org.au/education.htm, bearing in mind that we have recently experienced heavy flooding and they were 2M under water so a response to you may not be their immediate priority.

There is a strong city farm and community garden movement worldwide. Information on the Australian experience can be found at http://www.communitygarden.org.au/index.html
There is also a big move to encourage schools to grow and eat their own food, which has many benefits. Links to the Australian school gardens network can also be found on this site.
The pesticide issue is also looked at in these situations.
