Growing Youth - Young Adults

 

Growing Youth Young Adults is for 16-25 year olds who are not in work, education or training, and are interested in gaining practical skills and work experience in construction, landscaping or horticulture. 

Guided by experienced workshop leaders, young people play a pivotal role in the construction and maintenance of community gardens in their local areas. Our young adults help with building timber sheds, constructing raised growing beds, landscaping work and growing food and veg.

 

Our approach to workshops:

  • Hands-on and practical learning

  • Relaxed and fun environment

  • Peer led and collaborative

  • Led by the strengths and interests of our young people

 

Benefits for young people:

  • Accredited Saltire Award

  • Edible Estates work experience certificate

  • Personal work reference
