The Essential Urban Farmer Program
The Essential Urban Farmer Program can be used with all students but is was designed for youth who are struggling in school, below grade level, at risk of dropping out, and/or who have experienced an interruption in their education. The vast majority (98%) of students who go through the class come from families whose incomes are below the poverty line; most have low levels of literacy, on average 4th grade math and 7th grade reading skills. The pedagogical approach and teaching materials are designed to get students excited about learning and keep them coming back to class. The focus is on student success, building on student’s prior knowledge and experiences, making learning relevant, and connecting education to employment. Students finish the course with increased motivation, confidence, and inspired to be life-long learners
Sustain
