The Food Project's mission is to create a thoughtful and productive community of youth and adults from diverse backgrounds who work together to build a sustainable food system. This community produces healthy food for residents of the city and suburbs, provides youth leadership opportunities, and inspires and supports others to create change in their own communities. Youth can start as volunteers on weekends or with a school group. They are also able to work in our Summer Youth Program, earning a paycheck and learning valuable skills. After participating in the summer program, teens can apply to be a part of The Food Project's Academic Year Program and Internships (paid positions).
