Opportunity Details
Celebrate Earth Day at Manual Arts Garden!
Join us in the Manual Arts High School garden for a special morning filled with community and rewarding garden work to celebrate Earth Day!
Why: Volunteers power Chicas Verdes’ work across Los Angeles schools! At Manual Arts High School, the garden is not only a community space but also a learning hub where students can grow their own food, gain leadership skills, and help cultivate a more equitable, green future.
Who: Chicas Verdes is dedicated to empowering young people to recognize their connection to nature, their communities, and themselves. Through hands-on gardening, environmental education, and community action, they help youth grow as leaders while cultivating green spaces that nourish both body and spirit.
What to Expect: During this special clean-up day student gardeners from Manual Arts High School will be launching a special cookbook inspired by their time in the garden. Volunteers will be supporting the following tasks:- Maintaining the garden beds with compost and soil
- Planting fruit and vegetable plants
- Weeding and watering already established plants
- Harvesting fruits, vegetables, and herbs
- Helping students set up book launch stations
- Please bring a water bottle and wear sun protection
- Wear comfortable clothes and closed- toed shoes you don’t mind moving around in and getting dirty
- No gardening experience or tools needed — just a willingness to work hard!
