Cook it, Grow it, Share it: HYCC Teen Leaders
Eight amazing teenagers have been working hard at the farm this summer as part of a collaborative summer employment program with Hawthorne Youth & Community Center and Haley House. During the "Grow It, Cook It, Share It" program, these "food ambassadors " learn all about sustainable urban agriculture and cooking.
If you'd like to witness the talent of these teens, all are invited to join pay-what-you-can dinners cooked with farm fresh food on Thursdays during the summer (6-7:30 pm) at HYCC. It's a chance to check out the teens' skills and talents, and also have conversations with people of all ages on building up the community.
