Cultivating youth leaders from diverse backgrounds through meaningful work in the food system
Community Engagement
At LEAF, youth participate in public outreach events that range from cooking a meal for people at Salvation Army using produce from our farm to hosting educational workshops with preschool children.
Youth
The youth at the LEAF Project are a diverse group from many different backgrounds. At LEAF, they learn how to embrace their differences in order to form long lasting bonds.
Culinary
LEAF provides youth with the opportunity to develop culinary skills and to work alongside accomplished chefs in our region.
Agriculture
50% of the time is devoted to hands on farm work. Youth become proficient in basic farm tasks like preparing beds, tomato staking and twining, and harvesting/post harvest handling.
