Summer Apprenticeship Fund

Growing Places Indy is an urban agriculture nonprofit organization. The mission is to empower individuals to Grow Well, Eat Well, Live Well, and Be Well. They work to carry out the mission through urban agriculture, yoga, health and nutrition classes, and more. The summer apprenticeship program is a wonderful program for training and developing skills for those interested in similar efforts. Participants come from many different backgrounds and are challenged to consider what change they want to see in the world. They are trained in skills they can then employ to take action. They have the opportunity to learn from each other and many others in the community doing great work for the local area. Past participants have started their own farms, joined the staff of GPI, became involved in the local food community, joined FoodCorps or AmeriCorps, gone to teach yoga, and much more. This is often a life-altering opportunity and is extremely important to those involved. For more information, visit www.growingplacesindy.org
