The Root Riders: connecting Newport youth to gardens...by bicycle!

Help us achieve our vision to connect Newport youth to North End gardens!

Biking between the five gardens that ACT manages within a quarter-mile radius of Miantonomi Park, the Root Riders crew will learn to care for plants from seed to fruit; after harvesting, they will prepare produce in the Pell Elementary cafeteria for sale at that afternoon's farmers market, learning basic sales and business skills while engaging and serving their community. The Root Riders program will empower youth as they learn to grow, harvest, transport, and sell produce in their neighborhoods.

Do you know a high school-aged youth who may be interested in applying for this summer job? Share our flyers (in English and Spanish) and the short interest form.
