About
YOUTH PROGRAMS IN 2018-2019, GRUB CONTINUED A 20+ YEAR LEGACY IN ADAPTIVE, INNOVATIVE YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMMING CENTERED AROUND OUR 2-ACRE FARM. GRUB'S YOUTH PROGRAMING IS MULTIFACETED AND INCLUDES A PROGRAM DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR, A PROGRAM DURING THE SUMMER, A PROGRAM FOR YOUTH WHO HAVE LEFT HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE GRADUATING TO OBTAIN THEIR GED, A YOUNG CHILD PROGRAM BRINGING SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS AND FAMILIES WITH PRE-K CHILDREN ON THE FARM. GRUB ALSO SUPPORTS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN ADOPTING THE GRUB YOUTH PROGRAM MODEL. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH CAPITAL HIGH SCHOOL AND THE OLYMPIA SCHOOL DISTRICT, GRUB SERVED 22 STUDENTS EXPERIENCING BARRIERS TO SUCCESS, SUCH AS LOW-INCOMES AND SPECIAL NEEDS. WITH A THREE-PERIOD BLOCK CLASS AS PART OF AN EXPERIENTIAL CURRICULUM BASED ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PRACTICES ON THE LAND, STUDENTS EARNED SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES, AND ELECTIVE CREDITS AND GOT THEIR HANDS IN THE DIRT. THEY LEARNED ABOUT THE COMPLEXITIES OF AN INEQUITABLE FOOD SYSTEM, NURTURED THEIR PERSONAL RESILIENCE AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND SHARED A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST FROM THE GRUB FARM WITH THE LARGER COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW MARKET SKILLS CENTER, GRUB SERVED 33 STUDENTS FROM SIX DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS OVER THE SUMMER. IN OUR SIX-WEEK, 180-HOUR EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM, YOUTH COMPLETED DAY-TO-DAY TASKS ON THE GRUB FARM, SHOWED TREMENDOUS PERSONAL GROWTH, AND IMPROVED THEIR LEADERSHIP SKILLS. TEN OF THESE YOUTH RETURNED TO GRUB FOR OUR SUMMER PROGRAM AFTER COMPLETING THE ACADEMIC YEAR PROGRAM, AND FOUR SERVED IN THE SUMMER PROGRAM AS PEER CREW LEADERS. IN THE SPRING OF 2019, WE PILOTED OUR FIRST SEASON OF THE GROUNDED PROGRAM. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH GRAVITY LEARNING CENTERS, THE POWERFUL GRUB YOUTH EMPOWERMENT CURRICULUM WAS BROUGHT TO YOUNG ADULTS WHO HAVE LEFT HIGH SCHOOL TO WORK ON THEIR GED. THE FIRST GROUNDED COHORT INCLUDED 16 YOUTH, AGES 16-21, WHO LEFT SCHOOL BEFORE GRADUATING. GROUNDED YOUTH WORKED TOGETHER TOWARDS THEIR GED WHILE GAINING JOB, LEADERSHIP, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING THROUGH GRUB'S FARM-BASED PROGRAMMING. IF YOUTH WERE CLOSE TO MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF GRADUATION, THEY WORKED TO GAIN HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT TO WORK TOWARDS THEIR DIPLOMA. GROUNDED PROGRAMMING INCLUDES RECEIVING ONE-ON-ONE GED SUPPORT, LEARNING HOW TO OPERATE THE GRUB FARM, ENGAGING IN TEAM BUILDING AND PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOPS, LEADING FIELD TRIPS, AND BUILDING BACKYARD GARDENS FOR FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOMES. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RESCARE, MOST YOUTH EARN MINIMUM WAGE FOR THEIR WORK IN THE PROGRAM. OTHERS EARN A 1,000 STIPEND FROM GRUB. THE PROGRAM IS STAFFED BY TWO YOUTH PROGRAM MANAGERS AND AN ON-SITE GED TEACHER FROM GRAVITY. WE HAD A BOUNTIFUL YEAR ON THE GRUB FARM THE GRUB YOUTH, ALONG WITH INTERNS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO LOGGED MORE THAN 3,000 HOURS, GREW 13,223 POUNDS OF FOOD. OF THIS, 7,400 POUNDS WAS DONATED TO GRUB YOUTH, THEIR FAMILIES, SENIORS AND FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOMES, COMMUNITY EVENTS, VOLUNTEERS, INTERNS, AND STAFF. THE REST WAS SOLD TO HELP SUPPORT GRUB PROGRAMS THROUGH THE YOUTH-RUN MARKET STAND AND CSA SHARES. BEYOND GROWING FOOD, GRUB YOUTH WELCOMED AND HOSTED MANY FARM VISITORS. THIS YEAR, 550 KIDS VISITED THE FARM THROUGH 18 FIELD TRIPS TO WORK, LEARN, PLAY, AND GROW ON THE LAND. IN ADDITION, GRUB HOSTED A DYNAMIC "FAMILIES ON THE FARM" PROGRAM. THROUGH THIS RICH 14-WEEK PROGRAM, 13 LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WITH PRE-K CHILDREN GREW ROOTS ON THE GRUB FARM. THEY SHARED STORIES, PLAYED GAMES, PAINTED WITH FOOD, PLANTED SEEDS, HARVESTED, PREPARED AND ATE NUTRITIOUS FOOD TOGETHER, AND AT THE END OF EACH DAY, THEY TOOK HOME A SHARE OF FARM PRODUCE TO NOURISH THEIR FAMILIES. FURTHERMORE, GRUB HAS DEVELOPED DEEP TIES WITH COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION AND AROUND THE COUNTRY. WE PARTNER WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS, NONPROFITS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO SHARE GRUB'S YOUTH LEADERSHIP MODEL AND TO HELP PROGRAMS GET ESTABLISHED AND STRENGTHEN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THESE PROGRAMS WORK TOWARD A COMMON GOAL TO DEVELOP YOUTH LEADERS THROUGH FARMING. IN 2018-2019, GRUB SUPPORTED FOUR SITES IN WASHINGTON STATE: EATONVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S GROWING RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SOIL (GRITS) PROGRAM, OLYMPIA HIGH SCHOOL'S FREEDOM FARMERS, CAPITAL HIGH SCHOOL'S NEW ROOTS PROGRAM, AND TUMWATER SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FARM ROOTED EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND HEALTH (FRESH) PROGRAM. IN THE VOICES OF THE PARTICIPANTS: "I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT AND READY FOR THE WORLD."-2019 GROUNDED YOUTH "BEFORE GRUB I HAD NO SENSE OF COMMUNITY. I HAD NEVER FELT WELCOMED OR WANTED BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE. I'VE TRULY FELT COMMUNITY HERE AT GRUB BECAUSE EVERY MINUTE I FEEL LIKE I'M PART OF SOMETHING IMPORTANT."-2018 SUMMER YOUTH
