Session Description: This session will explore strategies and opportunities for engaging young people as garden leaders, specifically through CalFresh Healthy Living, University of California (UC) programming. By participating in youth-led garden clubs and activities, youth leaders support policy, systems, and environmental change efforts within their school and community, particularly through garden activities and promotion. Youth participate in garden-enhanced nutrition education, and may also be trained on CalFresh Healthy Living, UC garden curricula to deliver lessons to younger youth. Join this session to identify local opportunities to empower youth as leaders of their garden programs.
