Summer Green Team
The Summer Green Team is a free program hosted at CitySprouts garden sites across Boston and Cambridge each year. It is designed for rising 5-8th graders and provides opportunities 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 green spaces within their community. By working on local urban 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, include free daily breakfast and lunch, and incorporate weekly field trips. Admission to the program is chosen by an application process every spring.
