About City Growers
City Growers is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization based in New York City. City Growers uses urban agriculture to engage youth in experiential learning, nurturing a lifelong relationship to food, their health, and the natural world.
We are committed to ensuring that our programs engage young people who need them most by working to redistribute resources that have historically not been allocated equitably, especially within education systems and green spaces. Through our original curriculum design, aligned with New York State Department of Education STEM and Science Learning Standards, we use innovative growing spaces such as rooftop farms, school gardens, and public parks as living learning laboratories to foster a love of nature and encourage New York City youth to consider their place within the urban ecosystem and to inspire the next generation of leaders to protect the planet.
Our paid apprenticeships equip young people with the tools they need to create a greener and healthier future. Revers…
