Teen Service Learning Program
2025 Program
This summer we are hosting two, month-long service learning programs designed to engage teenage students in meaningful volunteer service in their community. Selected students will help address food insecurity in NWA through our food donation program which provides students and families with fresh, nutritious food grown from our teaching farm. Sign-up information will be available at the end of February, 2025. Check back in here and check your inbox for more information coming soon! For information or questions you have about the program, please contact Apple Seeds Volunteer Coordinator, Bryauna Young, at volunteer@appleseedsnwa.org.
For approximately 35 hours over the month of June or July, students in this program will:
Learn about our food donation efforts to address food and nutrition insecurity
Harvest, weigh, wash, and prepare fruits and vegetables for donation
Support the growth of the plants in our Teaching Gardens
Distribute the produce to our partner sites
