🌻 **Therapeutic Horticulture Update!** 🌿
It’s been amazing watching students grow—literally and figuratively! 🌱 Some who were shy at first are now getting more involved each week. We’re seeing their confidence blossom as they build skills, connect with the farm, and step out of their comfort zones. So proud of their progress! 💪💚

Yesterday, our Pacific Beach High School interns made major progress in their garden! They prepped a new bed by broadforking, adding compost and amendments, and evening out the soil for planting. Then, they planted a row of lettuce in our market garden and wrapped up by working together to make a fresh pico de gallo with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, cilantro, and onion! 🍅

Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for our biggest year yet, and your support makes it all possible.

Last week, we said goodbye to one of our interns, Katie Kelly!

Katie has been with City Farm as part of her FIELD Fellowship with @farmlinkproject this summer. She has been an amazing asset to the farm, bringing her pest management knowledge, hard work, and passion daily.

Thank you Katie, for everything you did this summer, and good luck in your final year of studies at Cal Poly!

Thank you Cal Poly Strawberry Center 🍓 @calpolystrawberrycenter for providing all three of our YEP cohorts with educational tours of the center, entomology lab activities, and the opportunity to harvest fresh clamshells for their families. Our students enjoyed learning about the latest research going on and upcoming projects. Our YEP participants were exposed to new career paths and got to speak with professionals in unique agricultural fields.

All three YEP cohorts noted in their post-evaluation that exploring the Strawberry Center was one of their most memorable program experiences. Thank you so much for sharing these opportunities with our students! Your support is “berry” appreciated! 🍓

And just like that, we wrapped up YEP Summer 2024 with a total of 35 graduates! Our Youth Empowerment Program participants completed daily workshops to build career and college readiness skills. Students prepared for future interviews, practiced public speaking skills, created SMART goals, learned about financial literacy and budgeting, and exercised communication skills. A participant from YEP Cohort 12 noted in their post-evaluation, “My favorite part about YEP is the people that are so supportive and welcoming and I have to say this experience has made me more social and being here has made me feel more open and comfortable. I loved being outside of the house, I got to take my mind off things.”
🌱
YEP students spent their summer days outdoors, physically working and learning about regenerative agriculture, growing and harvesting their own meals, and learning to fuel their bodies in a healthy and sustainable way. Through activities such as tending to our compost systems and worm bins, caring for our sheep and chickens, harvesting produce for the food bank, collecting field data on beneficial insects, and practicing mindfulness through nature journaling, YEP participants were able to explore our natural ecosystems and become more connected to their food systems.

A huge thank you to our YEP Facilitators, YEP Interns, and partners including the Cal Poly Strawberry Center & Entomology Labs @calpolystrawberrycenter, Transitions Mental Health Association @tmha_slo, guest speakers, and transportation volunteers. We couldn’t have done this program without you all! We are eagerly preparing for YEP Summer 2025!
