#BeMoreGreen City Weeds Urban Farming Program

It is the mission of The City Weeds Urban Farming Youth Achievement Program: #BeMoreGreen to engage, train and empower youth (ages 12+), through the creation and sustaining of ‘micro-businesses’ related to urban farming & the food industry. Led by national advocate and local agricultural leader, Farmer Nell, this program targets communities that have been impacted by trauma, and that have been designated as Food Deserts by the USDA;  Through the engagement of local stakeholders and partners, the City Weeds Youth Achievement Program: #BeMoreGreen trains local youth and young adults to start, grow and sustain enterprises that enrich the city’s land, community, and people.
