About Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project
The mission of Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project (an Oakland
based non-profit) is to combat the growing disadvantage of young
people of color not completing high school and attending a post
secondary school by empowering them to achieve their goals.
In giving our youth tools for the future, we utilize urban farming,
education and vocational training as the catalyst of community change
and elevation of the standard of living in the inner city. The further
reward is educational trust funds for each participant.
