YOUTH GROW INDY

​Youth Grow Indy PROGRAM: Urban Garden Internship Program

Youth Grow Indy is a youth development program wherein youth from Marion county work together to manage an urban farming plot. This youth-led initiative provides experiential learning opportunities, implementation of real-world life and business principles, service to the community, and an outlet for local agriculture. The students in this program are placed in charge of a year-long community farming program under the guidance of experienced adult leadership and learn the value of dedication, teamwork, planning, and agriculture while also being compensated for their efforts.

As a Youth Grow Initiative Crew Member, you will be filling one of 5 summer openings and will be an integral component to the summer plant-harvest cycle, one of the busiest times of the year! You will be working under the supervision of a Youth Farm Initiative Crew Manager and alongside 4 of your fellow Youth Farm Initiative Crew Members in managing all aspects of urban agriculture including planning, maintaining, managing, and distributing urban farm products from carrots to zucchinis.

Thank you to our donors!
