RRITET RINIA

Organikët në rritje të të rinjve në Worcester, ose YouthGROW, is  një program zhvillimi dhe punësimi rinor i fokusuar në bujqësi urbane për adoleshentët e Worcester-it

Programi ynë

YouthGROW punëson 32-40 adoleshentë të shkollave të mesme (mosha 14-18 vjeç) gjatë gjithë vitit, të cilët fitojnë aftësi udhëheqëse dhe punë, ndërsa mbajnë dy ferma organike urbane.

YouthGROWers plotësojnë një kurrikul të fokusuar në Zhvillimin Profesional, Aftësitë Udhëheqëse, Bujqësinë Urbane dhe Drejtësinë Sociale (PLUS,) përmes pjesëmarrjes në sesionin veror 8-javor, seminareve mujore, praktikave dhe shërbimit ndaj komunitetit.
