Youth Corps - Urban Growers Collective - Main Office

Urban Growers Collective aims to serve as both a job training experience and to encourage leadership development in teens. Their goal is that teens graduate with a comprehensive understanding of sustainable food system development and acquire the ability to connect and communicate how skills they've gained at the farm translate to any career path they may follow.
