Established in 1995, Youth Farm has developed from a garden program into a youth development organization. We engage hundreds of youth in leadership development form.
Our Mission and Goals◇We farm to grow food. From strawberries to carrots, our youth seed, plant, grow, and harvest our food and bring it to our communities' forks
◇We farm to grow community. We live and work in diverse neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are amazing, but also face numerous challenges related to food access and quality youth development programming. Youth farm does the best to meet the challenges.
◇We farm to grow leaders. At Youth Farm, assisting youth in their development as leaders is the most important part of our work. We work to engage young people as problem solvers to a variety of issues, from food access to quality education. We are not growing the next generation of farmers, but youth leaders who will become amazing teachers, scientists, community organizers, politicians and so much more.
Our ProgramsGrowing Season ProgrammingThe growing season is a busy time for us. Our youth take on an active role in planting and monitoring garden spaces throughout the entire season. Youth are also involved in volunteer farm work days.
School Year ProgrammingDuring the school year, youth attend farm classes, cooking classes, and gardening classes. School year programs and community involvement opportunities through food-based activities are key elements to Youth Farm’s success.
Community EventsWe also involve our youth in community events such as fairs, markets, and community meals. When participating in events, youth are offered real world planning and engagement opportunities. They will be introduced to the community as leaders in the local food movement.
