Summer Youth Program

During Common Good City Farm's Summer Youth Program, youth ages 14-17 farm on urban land, build raised garden beds, and prepare community lunches for neighbors, youth, and staff to come together to share the harvest. Youth also participate in workshops every week on issues of diversity awareness, hunger and homelessness, sustainable agriculture, and personal reflection.

    Benefits of participating in Summer Youth Program:
  • Regular paycheck: Earn a stipend of $150 a week (before taxes)
