The goal of this project is to create a place for youth ages 4-13 to actively engage with the farmers’ market environment, and in turn, attract new audiences (their families) to the venue. Youth will learn the value of engaging with their community and the importance of agriculture, farming, plants and their processes, pollinators, and local farmers.

We are looking for volunteers who love working with kids and educating youth, parents, and community members about a wide range of topics surrounding agriculture, food, plant science, pollinators etc.! Depending on interest, we are open to volunteers having various degrees of involvement for one or more sessions. The opportunity to build relationships with the youth who attend Kids Club is very special, so a volunteer that is able to attend for more than one session may find this particularly rewarding!
