Gardens 4 Humanity (G4H) is recruiting parents, teachers, students and
all interested community members to become Gardens 4 Humanity
educators and garden leaders. G4H volunteers help to grow gardening
opportunities in Tompkins County, grow gardening programs and nurture
emerging leaders in food justice. Food justice is a state when all
people have access to affordable, healthy, nutritious and culturally
appropriate food and have control over a democratic system of food
production, distribution and consumption. Our community has gone a
long way to blaze new territory in the local food movement, but still
has a long way to go toward ensuring toward making our local food
system just. Join us in our work.
All G4H Trainings are open to the general public. Students who attend
20 or more hours of training can become official Gardens 4 Humanity
volunteers and educators and can become a part of our movement.
