Description

Dates: June 17 – August 15, 2024
Schedule: Monday through Thursday 8:00 – 4:30
Education Award upon completion of service: $1,459.26

This is not a camping crew. Farm-fresh lunch is provided daily.
VYCC believes in the power that food has to connect us with the land, our community, and each other. On the farm, young people engage in organic vegetable farming. Produce grown by Corps Members is distributed to more than 400 families through the Health Care Share project-- a public health initiative that connects Vermont families to locally-grown produce through their medical provider.
