CitySprouts’ Green Team Programs
What is the CitySprouts green team?
The CitySprouts Green Team (formerly known as the Young Leaders Program) is an Out-of-School Time (OST) program targeted at middle school youth throughout Boston and Cambridge. The Green Team operates under two main branches – afterschool programs that run throughout the school year and a 5-week long summer program. Like all CitySprouts programming, the Green Team is tuition-free and places a specific focus on serving youth in underserved, overpaved communities.
The goal of the Green Team is to not only provide youth opportunities to learn and grow in their schoolyard gardens, but to build competency in skills such as STEM, cooking, and leadership, that will serve youth as they transition into high school, their first jobs, and beyond.
Program evaluation and Certified Quality Assessments are provided externally through our OST network partners, Boston Afterschool and Beyond (BASB) & The Cambridge Agenda for Children (AFCOST).
