SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is encouraging the creation of programs that teach agriculture to urban youth. SayPro recognizes that agricultural education is often overlooked in cities, yet it holds great potential for food security, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. SayPro supports community gardens, urban farming workshops, and school-based agriculture clubs. Peace Corps volunteers assist SayPro in designing hands-on experiences that help youth understand plant cultivation, soil health, and sustainable practices. SayPro ensures these programs build practical skills and awareness of food systems. Through this partnership, SayPro inspires young people to reconnect with the land—even in urban spaces.
SayPro ensures these agricultural programs are youth-centered and accessible, incorporating technology and creativity to maintain engagement. SayPro partners with schools, local NGOs, and urban farming groups to co-create engaging curricula. Peace Corps volunteers help SayPro deliver training on vertical farming, hydroponics, composting, and organic gardening. SayPro believes agriculture is not only about growing food—it’s about cultivating responsibility, patience, and environmental stewardship. These programs also offer career pathways in agri-tech and sustainability. SayPro is helping redefine agriculture for urban youth, making it a viable and appealing future. SayPro continues to invest in green education to nourish both minds and communities.
SayPro works with Peace Corps volunteers to establish small-scale agricultural projects that students manage, from planting seeds to harvesting produce. SayPro encourages youth to take ownership of these projects and to share their knowledge with their families and neighborhoods. The programs include business and marketing training, empowering students to sell produce or create food-based enterprises. SayPro also provides mentorship opportunities, connecting youth with urban farmers and sustainability professionals. By integrating life skills with agricultural training, SayPro equips youth to be changemakers. SayPro’s focus on real-world learning helps youth see agriculture not just as a tradition, but as innovation.
Through this partnership, SayPro is fostering a generation of urban youth who understand the value of agriculture in today’s world. SayPro’s efforts bridge the rural-urban divide, bringing practical food education into cities and promoting environmental awareness. SayPro continues to scale these programs across urban centers, ensuring that agriculture becomes part of the educational ecosystem. With the support of Peace Corps volunteers, SayPro strengthens food literacy, community resilience, and youth empowerment. SayPro is proud to plant the seeds of change in cities, where youth grow not only crops, but their confidence, leadership, and hope for a more sustainable future.
