A new project YEA Corps will be doing this summer is creating compost kits. Stay tune to hear about how that evolves…the youth will be leading the way. Look for them at the Mill City Farmers Market, and maybe they will grow into a larger enterprise…youth imagination should never be underestimated!

Current Partners and Prospect Partners for the summer organic garden/market and compost kits are:

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School
Project Pride for Living
Mill City Farmers Market

New Project Ideas are always welcomed have your youth group contact us and give us your ideas…we will connect you with everything you need.

Go Green…Grow Gardens Project

karbassi — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:02:03 +0000

The Grow Gardens Project is planned again for 2009. Youth from Cristo Rey Jesuit High School will be partnered with organic gardening experts to plan, plant and harvest a garden on their school grounds. The project culminates with an opportunity for the youth to sell their produce at the Mill City Farmer’s Market. YEA Corps is replicating this project with other schools and youth groups.

The idea for this project was conceived in 2007 by students from the University of Minnesota’s Minnesota Youth Community Learning Initiative in Fergus Falls, MN. The students had the idea to sell the produce from their organic garden. They partnered with YEA Corps to help them create and execute a business plan. The students conducted communication role-plays to prepare for meetings with community business partners to solicit support. They also conducted research to create a pricing strategy for the organic produce. The lessons learned were immeasurable. One student said, “I feel like I really had the power to do something important.”
