Earth Month Volunteering at the Arroyo Farm Lab
Come help establish a farm-to-school learning hub with gardening! Learn through hands-on gardening and help with cleaning and beautification projects for Earth Day. No gardening experience is required and all are welcome to attend.
Why:
In partnership with California Climate Action Corps, a program of California Volunteers (Office of the Governor), L.A. Works is on a mission to amplify the environmental justice initiatives of its partners in supporting the communities most impacted by climate change.
Our volunteer day efforts help establish urban agricultural learning hubs in underserved communities. The learning hubs aim to introduce youth and the community to urban agriculture, environmental sciences, and nutrition to improve physical and mental wellness. Volunteers are welcome to not only participate in the efforts but also partake in workshops and events.
