Young Women Empowered · 2024 Y-WE Grow (fall)

2024 Y-WE Grow

Schedule: Weekly on Saturdays, 9am-1pm, September 14-October 19
Location: Marra Farm (9026 4th Ave S, Seattle)

With our hands on the land at Marra Farm, participants connect with the Earth in a reciprocal relationship, gain practical gardening skills, and grow fresh, culturally-relevant produce. Youth also learn how to disrupt racism and injustice in the food system dominant in the U.S. through investing in food sovereignty locally, and gaining skills for interdependence (such as plant medicine, community art, and cooking)! Please visit our website for more details.

If you have any questions, contact Environmental Justice Programs Manager Neli Jasuja (she/they), at neli@y-we.org.
