Learn about Growing Hope’s Teen Leadership Program in Ypsilanti, Michigan! Each year, Growing Hope employs teens to train as leaders within the local food movement through year-round summer and after-school programs. Teen Crew Members work on the Growing Hope Urban Farm, gaining skills in farming and gardening while also participating in weekly workshops on social identity, community organizing, food justice, and cooking.

Through this program, high school–aged youth are given the opportunity to:

• Learn about local and national food systems
• Lead food justice projects

• Build personal development skills

   

This webinar is part of the 2025 SGSO Leadership Institute Webinar Series, highlighting participants of the 2025 SGSO Leadership Institute. The series is hosted by Life Lab in partnership with Whole Kids, a project of the Whole Foods Market Foundation, and the SGSO Network.
