Green Teen Community Gardening Program
Acerca de
The Green Teen program empowers urban youth to be effective community change-agents by immersing them in the local food system. This youth development program teaches life and work skills through hands-on experiences in farming and gardening, health and nutrition, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
During the school year, Green Teen holds local programs both during and after school where participants grow plants and vegetables in their classrooms, on farms, and in community gardens. Youth ages 14- 20 are hired three times a year to plant, harvest and maintain the Green Teen gardens. During the summer season they run a mobile farmers market where they sell their vegetables in Beacon July through September.
