YOUTH ORGANICS (YO!)
Youth Organics (YO!) gives inner city teens the experience
of hands-on gardening under the tutelage of experienced gardeners, educating
them about where their food comes from, nutrition and healthy eating habits.
The program assists participants and their families in establishing their own
garden plots and helps neighbors with tools, seeds and technical advice.
The South End neighborhood in the City of Albany is chronically under-served by
community organizations, and in particular services for young people. The Youth
Organics (YO!) program enables youth to develop and foster deep connections
with their neighborhood. The program helps energize neighborhood youth and
their families to work in their community, build relationships, learn about
locally grown vegetables and plants, and have a hand in creating a safe space.
Leadership development among the teens is a key element and guides the future
of the program.
