Youth Apprenticeships

Today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders.

Our paid apprenticeships equip young people with the tools they need to create a greener and healthier future. Reversing the course of environmental degradation can only happen if it starts now, with informed, aware, environmentally literate, and skilled young people. City Growers’ youth programs cultivate such leaders, while also paying them minimum wage.

Green Ambassadors runs after school in the spring for eight weeks, while Bee Ambassadors runs in the summer for six weeks. Please note that Green Ambassadors takes place in Sunset Park, while Bee Ambassadors takes place in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Applications for Spring Green Ambassadors are now open! Stay tuned for Bee Ambassadors applications!
