Support Our Apprentice Program
Change the lives of 30 teens this summer…
Urban Tilth’s intensive summer Apprenticeship Program is a rare opportunity for West County youth to join a dynamic and positive group of their peers for a life changing summer of intensive urban agriculture training, community engagement, mind-opening field trips and paid summer employment.
Help us offer our youth a chance to discover the leaders they are meant to be.
Sponsorships
You can also support this program by sponsoring the materials we will need to make it happen. Choose a sponsorship level below:
Gloves
For a modest donation of $6 we can supply one of our youth Apprentices or volunteers with a good pair of work gloves to protect their hands as they learn to care for the gardens.
Garden Tools
We always need a number of shovels, rakes, hoes, pitch forks, axes, trowels, post diggers and other garden tools so that Apprentices, staff and volunteers have the tools they need to build and improve our community and school gardens.
A donation of $30 to Urban Tilth buys one of these necessary tools.
1 cubic yard of Compost!
Until we are able to produce enough of our own rich home grown compost, we will need to supply the all of our farm and garden projects with compost.
For a donation of $40 you can sponsor 1 cubic yard of nutrient rich compost for one of our urban agriculture projects.
Drafting supplies
Urban Tilth believes that it is important that our Apprentices leave our program with life changing experiences and real marketable skills. Learn to draw site maps and garden plans to scale is just one of the real skills that all of our interns learn.
Your donation of $75 will provide the large scale graphing paper, compasses, tape measures and other materials necessary to complete detailed and accurate site maps.
Seeds
Your donation of $100 helps us purchase enough seed for one planting season.
