Island Grown Schools, the Vineyard’s farm-to-school program and a project of Island Grown Initiative, is launching a new volunteer summer service program for rising ninth graders.
According to a press release, the Youth Food Activist program will engage recent eighth grade graduates in helping harvest and deliver food from farms for those in need in our community, maintaining our Island school gardens, cooking with fresh, locally grown foods, and doing service projects on local farms. This free program will run from July 9 through August 17, 9 am to 2 pm each weekday. Students can apply to serve with the YFA program for one week or more.
