Green Teens Internship & Workforce Development and Training Program
The Campaign Against Hunger’s Green Teens program trains 45 youths (14-24) in sustainable agriculture, echoing the city’s push for greener spaces and infrastructure.
In a standout achievement, GT’s cultivated over 18,000 pounds of produce, bolstering TCAH’s self-sustainability by reducing dependence on external food sources.
This yield, valued at tens of thousands of dollars, not only demonstrates urban farming’s economic impact but also strengthens our organization’s resilience and contribution to local food security.
Our Green Teens are not just learning about agriculture; they are vital contributors to a more sustainable, economically vibrant, and self-sufficient urban community.
