WHAT IS the CITYSPROUTS Green TEam summer PROGRAM?

The CitySprouts Green Team Summer Program (formerly the Summer Young Leaders Program) is a free opportunity designed for rising 5-8th graders to learn gardening, cooking, and leadership skills while working and spending time outdoors. Youth learn to be leaders and stewards in their community through a combination of garden work, STEAM-focused projects, and field trips to outdoor spaces within their community. By working on local urban farms and gardens and meeting with community leaders, the program aims to provide youth the opportunity to identify issues they are passionate about and envision an endless array of possibilities for their future.

All CitySprouts summer programs run Monday-Friday, 9AM-2PM, are free to Boston and Cambridge families and include free daily lunch and weekly field trips.
