Programs
Youth Development Programs
The Food Project’s youth programs operate as a three-tiered pipeline, with increasing levels of empowerment and leadership expected throughout. The introductory summer Seed Crew focuses on a blend of farm work and personal development workshops that explore our food system. As youth progress into the academic-year Dirt Crew, year-round Root Crew and onto alumni fellowship positions, there are increasing levels of community-facing work, peer leadership, and project management. Dirt Crew helps to build raised beds for resident-use and lead volunteer sessions. Root Crew plans and operates initiatives that impact their community's health and food landscape, including running our markets and other community events. Throughout these programs, there is a strong emphasis on building relationships and working across social dividing lines, as crews bring together young people from urban and suburban communities, a diverse array of identities, and differing socioeconomic backgrounds.GeographiesDorchester, Boston, MA, USA;Lincoln, MA, USA;Wenham, MA, USA;Lynn, MA, USA;Roxbury, Boston, MA, USADatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedFood security,Sustainable development,Environmental justiceAdolescents120–Community Food Growing and Food Access Programs
