Teen Farm and Garden Programs: mentorship and evaluating

  • 1.  Teen Farm and Garden Programs: mentorship and evaluating

    Posted 03-06-2024 10:09:00 PM

    Hey Everyone! On March 7 from 3-4 pm EST, I'm hosting a casual drop-in Zoom to talk about teen farm and garden programs. This is a space to continue the conversation from our fall teen entrepreneurship in the farm and garden programming with City Blossoms and US Botanic Garden. We're also pleased to share the videos from the four-part series!

     
    Teen Entrepreneurship Drop-In Virtual Space
    March 7
    3 pm ET / 12 PT
    We'll open with three questions, and we'd love to hear your perspectives!

    - What are some strategies you use for building relationships with teens in your program? (This may be different from creating community among the teen group, but rather how do you, as a program facilitator, prepare yourself for supporting teens?)

    - What is the number one thing you do when things start to go astray / when group morale starts to decline?

    - What are your favorite activities for Opening Meetings with teens, and how do you evaluate activities before using them?  
    Thanks, and hope to see you Thursday at 3 ET!

    Hi! I have a teenage son that is very much into gardening. I missed this zoom. Do you have any pointers on how to help grow this passion? Trying to look for a local group
