What past interns are saying…

“My experience at YGP was an amazing learning opportunity. In a short period of time I learned so much about starting plants in a greenhouse and planting all sorts of different vegetables. It wasn’t just an experience in gardening, it was an experience working in a community and helping others out. “- Jenni Muszynski

“There is nothing more inspirational that the awe-inspired faces of kids learning about compost, or how to plant a carrot. We, as interns, see the seeds pass from our hands, to the soil, to our table. The Youth Garden offers the unique opportunity to teach that process to future generations in one of the most majestic places on Earth.”-Ilona Carlson

“The Youth Garden can teach you about growing food, educating our youth and making great friends, but above it all, it allows you to experience the process of creating a strong, place-based community from those who live it.”- Dylan Johnston

“The Youth Garden Project grows food, kids, community AND smiles. The garden is full of happy things; bunnies, giggling children, fresh cilantro smells (in the right season), bright colors and a very welcoming staff (to name a few). You see it in those who visit the garden and I know for certain it affected me.”-Gretchen Allen

“I had a great time working with the Youth Garden Project. There are plenty of opportunities to learn a wide variety of skills and knowledge related to local food systems, as well as educating youth on this and other garden-related concepts. The staff is open and receptive to hearing what you want to learn and trying to accommodate it into the internship.”-Bryan Alexander

“YGP is such an amazing learning environment both for interns and all the kids who come to the Garden! I learned so much about teaching, gardening and life from all the wonderful people I got to know during my time there.” -Amelia Wurzburg
