Our Green Ambassador Program Farm Crew has come to an end after a summer of hard work. This six week paid internship introduces young adults to gardening, cooking, and carpentry while building interpersonal skills like communication and collaboration.
We hosted 12 Farm Crew members and three returning Crew Leaders this summer. Compared to last year's hybrid model, this year's program was completely in person. Program manager Christin Riddick found having participants in a physical space together rather than a virtual one allowed them to connect more deeply with one another in the garden.
