Winter is COMING! Come join Growing Alliances in putting our garden to sleep for the winter. We need assistance in finishing to cover crop the raised beds, do a final weeding and put together our new greenhouse! We will bring snacks and warm drinks and volunteers will be able to bring home a pumpkin from the garden.
In the case of rain, bring a rain jacket and rain boots because rain can't stop us!
Children are welcome, with the presence of a guardian.

About Growing Alliances
Location:
1342 Orleans St, Bellingham, WA 98226, US
Mission Statement
Empowering at risk and foster youth through vocational opportunities in urban agriculture.
Description
Growing Alliances’ Fostered Youth Employment Program employs a team of youth ages 16-24 to grow food to donate, sell and cook for themselves, while they simultaneously participate in workshops on job skills and on the history, economics and politics of the food system.
Growing Alliances is a job readiness program, so our youth employees participate in weekly workshops, which cover work qualities that employers and researchers find valuable for job security. We provide other opportunities to gain applicable skills by creating Youth Positions in the organization that may relate more closely to their interests. These positions include but are not limited to: sales, social media coordinator, film maker, artist/designer, budgeting and community outreach/marketing.
