GRuB engages teens/young adults on the GRuB Farm and through community service to help break cycles of hunger, poverty, inequality & oppression. Since 1999, nearly 600 teens/young adults in our community have had the pleasure of participating in GRuB's youth empowerment programs (Cultivating Youth, GRuB School, and GroundED).

Our proven curriculum centers on GRuB’s core themes of Farming Self, Farming Land, & Farming Community, designed to help youth develop leadership skills, academic and professional success, and to improve personal resilience. To spread the love, we also help organizations in other communities, our “Pollinated Partners,” create their own GRuB-like youth development programs through consultation & technical assistance.
