Food Works

Food Works provides opportunities to young people to make a difference in their communities. The youth come from a diverse background, 14 to 21 years in age, they learn valuable skills how to communicate more effectively with adults, grow and market the food they produce at farmers markets, and provide fresh produce to low income families nearby. This is a type of program that is emerging in many communities across the country.  Personally (as the filmmaker), it was very inspirational to get to know these folks, for in the process of growing food, they grew themselves. Please consider sharing this video with others...it's uplifting to hear what these young folks (many from low-income families) are doing. Thanks!
