Join our NEW After-School Program!
HARLEM GROWN's Students will be immersed in the studies of Urban Farming, Sustainability, and Nutrition.
Harlem Grown is excited to offer a free after-school program located at 127 West 127th Street for elementary aged youth! Our program engages children in grades K - 5th in hands-on urban farming, cooking, and healthy eating activities. Our goal is to inspire youth to live healthy and ambitious lives; to get them excited about urban farming; to help them become environmental stewards; and to build their leadership, self-confidence, and teamwork skills.
