Internship: Garden-based learning will be tied in with the community garden projects being done at the new Learning Garden (Sheriff Road and 48^th Street) and the established Lederer Youth Garden (4801 Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue). The internship experience will focus on helping youth learn about themselves, while instilling a sense of commitment to their environment, sustainable living, and community activism. This also provides an opportunity for students to build a valuable set of skills that are important for future job

placement, such as team building, group decision-making, and time management. We envision this being done through fun and engaging learning activities. Jobs would include, and are certainly not limited to:

• Preserving and canning fruits and vegetables at the Lederer Youth Garden to sell at the Farmers Market
• Helping manage and organize future Workshop Series
• Building the Learning Garden
