Mentorship that lasts
The same adults show up week after week. Cohorts stay small so every young person is known by name, not by number.
Youth & Community · Est. 2016
Every young person deserves a place to grow.
We build long-term programs where young people and their neighbors learn together, make together and lead together — in the gardens, studios and rooms of their own community.

How we work
Three commitments behind every program we run.
02
Skills learned by doing
Gardens, circuits, budgets, speeches. Participants finish something real and can explain how they made it work.
03
Neighborhoods that steward
Programs belong to the place they happen in. Families, elders and local partners shape what we run and how we run it.
Programs
A season of real work, with real people.
Ages 13–18
Youth Leadership Lab
A small cohort of teens learns to facilitate, budget and pitch — then plans and launches a real project in their own neighborhood.

Community Garden Fellowship
Neighbors of every age tend shared beds together, learn food growing from the soil up, and take home what the season gives.
$95 · full program
Ages 10–14
STEM Studio
A build-first workshop where young people wire solar circuits, test ideas and present what they made — no prior experience needed.

“My daughter came home with a plan for a neighborhood cleanup and the confidence to go ask the council for permission. She was twelve. That is what this program builds.”

Give
Give a season, not just a moment.
Every gift covers a specific cost of running a program — and every program seat can be fully or partly funded, so a family’s budget never decides who gets to join.
- A mentor hour with a young person
- Materials for a studio or garden session
- A scholarship seat in a full cohort
$100 funds one full scholarship session.
