This summer the Urban Farming Institute is inviting a small cohort of youth to join us on the farm in our movement toward building a healthy community. Young Farmers Project is a program that will serve as a site of belonging and transformation for youth where we will combine hands-on land-based skills, art, collective leadership, civic engagement, and political education to develop a loving relationship with the land, ourselves, and each other.

Together we will…

Learn how to grow food through hands-on farming

Explore nature and our local ecosystems

Make art, share food, and move our bodies

Design a community action project based on the needs in our lives and community

Share what we learn with our community

Consider our passions, experiences, and skills in creating positive social change

July 6 – August 14 (6 weeks)
