Urban Roots' mission is to cultivate and empower youth through nature, healthy food, and community. We provide paid job training internships along with career-oriented educational activities that help prepare youth with the essential work-readiness and life skills needed for success in college and career.Our three programs - Conservation, Market Garden, and Cook Fresh - provide a proven model of guiding and educating youth ages 14-24 to develop 21st century skills in job readiness, personal growth, and entrepreneurship. Our unique progressive internship model engages youth for multiple years in crews during the summer and school year where they earn increasing hours/pay rate, leadership roles, and responsibilities with each year worked.
