Sproutin' Up Youth Apprenticeship Program

The Growing Project helps the nonprofit Sproutin' Up to host a 10 week session with disadvantaged middle school youth at Poudre Valley Mobile Home Park.  Youth come out to the garden once a week to partake in an hour of educational work in the garden, they receive a 15 minute nutrition lesson, and then they set up a free market stand for their families and neighbors with produce from the Sproutin' Up onsite garden and The Growing Project Educational Garden.  Youth participants receive a $10 stipend each time they are in the garden.
